Unable To Delete Infected Files

Options

I'm unable to remove bad cookies and a possible virus. No action possible for the cookies. The virus is possible to move to quarantine, but it reappears on the next scans.


I've uploaded a copy of the possible virus at Rapidshare: http://rapidshare.com/files/315259576/CLSTR3.rar.html (password "infected")

    Hello Aarrestad,


    The sample that you have sent us did not help us very much. In order to be able to help you please run a Deep System Scan and then provide us the scan log for analysis . Here is what you have to do :


    1. 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;


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


    3. 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, upload the report on http://www.sendspace.com/ then post here the download link.


    We are looking forward to your reply.


    Thank you.
