athegn Posted March 11, 2017 ID:1107774 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I have a Windows 10 pc running Malwarebytes Premium 3 and Windows Defender. For the last 2 days Windows Defender is finding Vigorf.A on this pc. MB Premium is running real time protection. Why is that not stopping Vigorf.A? Any advice please?

athegn Posted March 11, 2017 Author ID:1107777 Share Posted March 11, 2017 The files being attacked are only a physically separate HD, the one that holds my data, from the C: drive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_touch_my_buffer Posted March 11, 2017 ID:1107788 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Did you try scanning the "physically separate HD" with a custom scan? Just click on the drive letter for the physically separate drive and start the scan. You may have Windows Defender configured to scan all drives, while Malwarebytes is limited to just the "C" drive...

athegn Posted March 11, 2017 Author ID:1107792 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Now done a manual scan of this other drive and though finding a few PUPs and one malware as a "riskware.Tool.CK" it has not found any of the Vigorf files that Windows Defender has?? I have looked in the folder that has all the Vigorf files and can see I no longer need them so I will delete that whole folder; Good idea?

dont_touch_my_buffer Posted March 11, 2017 ID:1107808 Share Posted March 11, 2017 It's always a good idea to delete data files/folders that are no longer being used... It's interesting that Malwarebytes did not find VigorF, the link below actually advises to remove VigorF with Malwarebytes, among other solutions: https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-trojan-js-vigorf-a/ Did you scroll down in the scan result? It's "Step 2\image # 6" in the above link... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_touch_my_buffer Posted March 11, 2017 ID:1107812 Share Posted March 11, 2017 It's also possible that "VigorF" = "riskware.Tool.CK". In another word, Microsoft and Malwarebytes assigned different names for this malware... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
