Files got VIRUS but not healed
-
All these viruses are related to Java. Update all your Java applications.
Go to Control Panel, Java. Select the Update tab. Click on Update Now.
For AVG, the quarantined area is called a Virus Vault. If there are files that can't be deleted, it will be stored there. Just open your Virus Vault and click on Delete if you want to delete those files. -
in the control panel there's only a IBM Java Plug-in 1-4-1 option... and there's no update tap in it....... how?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:All these viruses are related to Java. Update all your Java applications.

in the virus vault, there is one item.
but when she scanned the system, it shows "virus found".
does the "virus found" means those in the virus vault? is it safe to leave it like that without deleting anything? because I'm afraid I might crash her system... -
is it a system file? if its just some data files that you have back ups for and can do without just quarantine or delete

File name = sploit[1].anr
File path = c:\Documents and Settings\IBM\Local Settings\Temporary Int....
Source = backup copy
so how? -
Safe to delete lar, just delete the damn thing! I'm still laughing at the way you use the word "heal" to describe files.Originally posted by TehJarVu:the virus vault says:

heal is the word AVG uses lah...Originally posted by ditzy:Safe to delete lar, just delete the damn thing! I'm still laughing at the way you use the word "heal" to describe files.
and go where to delete the file/s? it doesn't work when we right click on it in the virus vault... it doesn't give a delete option... only a "what's this" pops up and explains some stuff to you..
and virus vault only shows 1 virus
but the scanning shows 3 infected files... so does it mean that i copy down the paths?? and then go where and delete? -
got something here but procedures are similar to what some forumers here have posted...safe mode, disable system restore, deleting all files in temporary internet folders...emptying recycle bin etcOriginally posted by TehJarVu:the virus vault says:

The thing about antivirus software is they usually don't let you delete the file coz they want to play super safe, so you don't make stupid decisions although you are right, but they want to make sure they are righter than you are. If you know the exact location, go there and delete it. If need be, shut off your AV temporarily, so it doesn't keep squawking.Originally posted by TehJarVu:heal is the word AVG uses lah...

and looked for the exact file... but didn't find it although i have the complete path....
give up...
can i just leave things as it is?
can u tell me if the virus is already quarantined safely?
are the 3 files that are infected already quarantined? ie. quarantine 1 virus (as shown in the virus vault) means all the files are already quarantined... correct or not? -
Just leave it lar, your comp is not going to die. As long as your comp doesn't have what launch codes for a north korean icbm, its not that important.Originally posted by TehJarVu:i went to start->search

i cleared already, scanning still shows 3 viruses found..Originally posted by StarPuppy:if its in the temporary internet files...go to internet options and clear your temporary internet folder -
when i run scanning, it shows 3 viruses found.
and in the virus vault, there is 1 item showed, ie. 1 virus.
Does it mean that 1 virus is quarantined (in the virus vault), while 3 other viruses are still on the loose?

-
did this also... no infected files found..Originally posted by casino_king:download the free Microsoft Malicious software update. Then scan and delete those files that are still infected.
but i think this scans for malicious SOFTWARE... mine is not software problem.. -
can you update your java?
-
couldn't do it... cannot find update java....Originally posted by StarPuppy:can you update your java?
only got start->control panel->IBM Java Plug-in 1-4-1
in the computer... and it doesn't have an update tab... -
if can update java, what does it do?
-
You are right, only one file is quarantined. However, the rest are not on the loose. It means that the files have either been deleted or healed.Originally posted by TehJarVu:when i run scanning, it shows 3 viruses found.

Quote from AVG Help Topics:The Virus Vault is used to lock up infected files out of harms way. You can use the Virus Vault to heal "vaulted" files and restore them to their original location on your disk. Files are moved to the Virus Vault during tests or by resident components such as the AVG E-mail Scanner.

My Computer, Tools, Folder Options. Select View tab. Under Hidden files and folders, select Show hidden files and folders. Click OK.
Open My Computer again. Find the files that are infected with viruses and delete it away. -
i agree on this one. if u can't remove it by whatever means, don't wanna reformat it, don't wanna waste money ask for professional help. i suggest u just leave it there, as long as your computer can still be use.Originally posted by ditzy:Just leave it lar, your comp is not going to die.

you said the files should be deleted or healed... but when i scan, it still show 3 viruses found, so it means they are still there?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi: -
Find those files manually and delete. By right, files that are quarantined or cannot be deleted will be there.Originally posted by TehJarVu:you said the files should be deleted or healed... but when i scan, it still show 3 viruses found, so it means they are still there?
Then scan again.
