Thank you. That solved it. So Malwarebytes was picking up the trojan file from the file that I had renamed hosts.20170620.old, with an entry for it from Spybot immunization? I had looked but didn't see it there. In any case, it's all good now.

Hi Aura, A little background - Although Malwarebytes has been consistent in reporting the Trojoan.agent.e.generic on a scan and in quarantine, I have not been able to see the trojan file in hosts, only in quarantine. (I have the Folder Options settings set to Show all hidden files and Hide operating system files is unchecked.) I have recreated the hosts file several times, so am attaching various versions. Spybot Search and Destroy was run on the PC, so the original hosts file had a lot of Spybot immunization entries. Spybot Search and Destroy was uninstalled later. Thanks. hosts.zip hosts.20170620.zip hosts.20170620-123726.zip hosts.20170620-165239.zip

Hello, Several of our PCs have been infected with malware. So far, all seem to have been removed successfully except on one PC. This is a Windows 7 PC.. Each time I run Malwarebytes, it finds trojan.agent.e.generic in the windows hosts file; we quarantine it, Malwarebytes says successful, restart to finish the deletion. Restart to finish deletion results in failure. I'm attaching one of the Malwarebytes scans and files from Farbar. mbscan3.txt Addition.txt FRST.txt

I have the same problem - Trojan.Agent.E.Generic is stuck in C:\WINDOWS\HOSTS, even after multiple quarantines. Each time I run the Malwarebytes scan, it shows up in the scan report, but when I check the hosts file, I can't see it (hidden files and operating system files are set to show). I ask Malwarebytes to remove the quarantined file, it tells me it's removed and need to restart. After restart, Malwarebytes reports removal failure. I am attaching a scanlog and files from Farbar.
