Infection detected even after removal


Recommended Posts

I recently used Malwarebytes to remove some malware from my father's computer yet it still detects the exact same Trojan.BHO.H every single scan. It also detects this "infection" within a second of starting the scan. The thing is the BHO was removed previously, I'm sure of it. The path that Malwarebytes returns for the infection doesn't even exist anymore, as it was nothing but some coupon BHO that was messing things up. Why does it continue to find this infection when not only the file is gone but so is the directory where it was? And it's not hidden as it isn't even found by running dir in the command line. The OS is Windows 7, by the way.

Hello Kenyon East and :)

I suggest letting one of the Experts have a look at it to start the cleaning process. They will sort it all out. It is a FREE service

As we don't work on Malware removal in the General Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Forum as it is for issues with the program itself,

only in the Malware Removal - HijackThis Logs section

Please copy, read and follow the Directions Here, skipping any steps you are unable to complete. Then post a NEW Topic Here

One of the Expert helpers there will give you one-on-one assistance when one becomes available.

Please note that it may take 48 hours or more for you to receive a response in the malware removal forum, as it is often busy at times. Please do not reply to your own post asking for help unless its been more than 48 hours since you originally posted, as this can make it appear as though you are being helped and take longer for you to get help. If no one has replied within 48 hours then please go ahead and either reply to your post or send a private message to a Moderator and let them know that you're still needing assistance.

If you are unable to do all or any of the steps in the link to the directions above, just post your problem into the forum I gave you a link to anyway and someone will be able to assist you.

After posting your new post make sure under options that you select Track this topic and choose one of the Email options so that you're alerted when someone has replied to your post.

Also, when replying, please use the ADDREPLYa8JTu.jpg button located at the bottom of the page, as this makes the forum easier to read.
