To get the log from Malwarebytes do the following: Click on the Detection History tab > from main interface. Then click on "History" that will open to a historical list Double click on the Scan log which shows the Date and time of the scan just performed. Click Export > From export you have two options:Copy to Clipboard - if seleted right click to your reply and select "Paste" log will be pasted to your replyText file (*.txt) - if selected you will have to name the file and save to a place of choice, recommend "Desktop" then attach to reply Please use "Copy to Clipboard, then Right click to your reply > select "Paste" that will copy the log to your reply… Next, Download AdwCleaner by Malwarebytes onto your Desktop.

Please copy/paste the content of that log in your next reply Next, Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop. Alternative download option: http://www.techspot.com/downloads/6731-farbar-recovery-scan-tool.htmlNote: You need to run the version compatible with your system (32 bit or 64 bit). If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version. If your security alerts to FRST either, accept the alert or turn your security off to allow FRST to run. It is not malicious or infected in any way... Be aware FRST must be run from an account with Administrator status... Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.(Windows 8/10 users will be prompted about Windows SmartScreen protection - click More information and Run.)

escasoni Posted January 20, 2021 Author ID:1433304 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Malware scan log.txtKevin Thanks for your reply to my query. Have carried out your instructions with the following results. Completed a scan with Malwarebytes as requested and exported the scan log to desktop. This is attached. Scanned with ADW Cleaner but after ensuring all threats were checked and selecting QUARANTINE the threats disappeared and nothing else happened. I was not asked to restart the computer and no log was displayed. Scanned with Farbar Recovery tool and scan log is attached. I hope these will help as my Bitdefender profram doesn't seem to find the threat and deal with this. It just sends the affected file to quarantine which is only half the solution.

kevinf80 Posted January 20, 2021 ID:1433318 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Hello escasoni. Please do not post logs in Word, post as text file as per instructions...

escasoni Posted January 21, 2021 Author ID:1433661 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Kevin. My apologies. I didn't know where to find the logs you wanted and Word seemed the only way I could get the information into an attached file as the allowable extensions show doc as acceptable. Logs you requested are attached. It's easy when you know how !!.

kevinf80 Posted January 23, 2021 ID:1434131 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Hiya Ron, Lets try another scanner: Download Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool (KVRT) from here: https://www.kaspersky.com/downloads/thank-you/free-virus-removal-tool and save to your Desktop. Select the Windows Key and R Key together, the "Run" box should open. Drag and Drop KVRT.exe into the Run Box. C:\Users\{your user name}\DESKTOP\KVRT.exe will now show in the run box. add -dontcryptsupportinfo Note the space between KVRT.exe and -dontcryptsupportinfo C:\Users\{your user name}\DESKTOP\KVRT.exe -dontcryptsupportinfo should now show in the Run box. That addendum to the run command is very important, when the scan does eventually complete the resultant report is normally encrypted, with the extra command it is saved as a readable file. Reports are saved here C:\KVRT_data\Reports and look similar to this report_20200727_103821.klr Right click direct onto that report, select > open with > Notepad. Save that file and attach to your reply. To start the scan select OK in the "Run" box. The Windows Protected your PC window will open, select "More Info" A new Window will open, select "Run anyway" A EULA window will open, tick both confirmation boxes then select "Accept" In the new window select "Change Parameters" In the new window ensure all selection boxes are ticked, then select "OK" The scan should now start... When complete if entries are found there will be options, if "Cure" is offered leave as is. For any other options change to "Delete" then select "Continue" When complete, or if nothing was found select "Close" Attach the report information as previously instructed.... Thank you, Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
escasoni Posted January 23, 2021 Author ID:1434142 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Keving Have got the scan report but when right clicking, nothing happens. I was expecting a small window to open giving "save with" program options as per usual, but this din't appear. Have tried to move into Notepad by dragging and dropping, but afgain nothing happens. How can I get the "Save with" options box back ? Sorry about this. Ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

escasoni Posted January 24, 2021 Author ID:1434269 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Kevin. I recently purchased and downloaded a zip file relating to an aircraft in flight simulator and every time I unzip this, Bitdefender gives me the message that a threat has been detected and disinfection is in progress. Unfortunately, the disinfection appears not to be successful as Bitdefender moves the file to quarantine so I can't install the package. Looking ay the information the threat name is GEN:\Variant.Razy.827284. I tried a couple of scans prior to contacting you with no success, so perhaps it's just the original zip file that's infected and not my computer. All the scans we went through certainly couldn't find anything. I reckon we'll call it a day. Many thanks for taking the time to help me, you've been very patient and understanding.
