Bitdefender Will Not Quarantine/delete Trojan Virus

retpgmr@rainierconnect.com

During my weekly deep scan, Bitdefender 2010 found a trojan virus. A dialog screen popped up asking me what action to take. I first chose Quarantine then clicked the Continue button. Bitdefender did nothing but display the same dialog screen. I then tried Delete. But again Bitdefender came back with the same screen.

Am I doing something wrong? How else am I supposed to get rid of this trojan?

Hi

In order to be able to assist you please run a Deep System Scan task with Bitdefender and send us the resulting scan report.

[how to GENERATE A DEEP SYSTEM SCAN LOG]

- Before running the scan please make sure that you have the latest virus definitions downloaded via the Update module: open Bitdefender and click the "Settings" button in the upper right side of the interface; Switch UI to "Novice Mode"; Click "OK"; Choose the "Update Now" task;

- After the update process completes successfully you can proceed to running the scan task: select the "Scan Now" task;

- When the scan ends, click the "View Log" button at the bottom right of the scan window; A browser window will open displaying the scan report; Save this file on a location of your choice and then attach it in your next reply here.

NOTE! If you already ran a scan task you can send us your latest report instead.

[how to RETRIEVE THE LATEST DEEP SYSTEM SCAN LOG]

- Open Bitdefender and click the "View Logs" link on the lower right; Click the "Antivirus" tab on the left;

- In the "On-demand tasks" list (the one on the bottom) look for the latest (closest to the top) entry that reads "Deep System Scan" under the "Task Name" column and "Scan Finished" under the "Action name"; Double-click this entry and click the "View Scan Log" button at the bottom of the window that just popped up; A browser window will open displaying the scan report; Save this file on a location of your choice and then attach it in your next reply here.
