Trojan Detected By NIS


Recommended Posts

When I ran a Norton scan on my daughters pc, it said it removed Trojan.Lapka. The log said the infected file was C/programfiles(x86)malwarebytes anti-maleware and a number that ended with .tmp(i don't know if i should post the file number) I did use snipping tool to take a copy. I haven't posted it because I can't get to her pc just yet. It said it was removed, but are we safe?  Any advice would help.

Hello:
 
There's no way to tell exactly what's going on without more information (especially scan logs).
 
It could be a False Positive (FP) detection by Norton on an MBAM file -- similar FP detections on MBAM files by Norton have been reported several times before.
For example: https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/151400-norton-antivirus-detected-trojankillav-in-mwb-directory/
 
If you think this could be a FP by Norton, you would need to report it to them.

 

OTOH, if you think you might be infected, or if you would like an expert second-opinion to check, then I suggest that you please follow the advice in this pinned topic: Available Assistance For Possibly Infected Computers.
It explains the options for free, expert help >>AND<< the preliminary steps to expedite the process.
A malware analyst will assist you with looking into the issue.

Thanks,
