Hello @Neville4367e

Welcome to the F-Secure Community. Thank you for your post.

There are a few reasons why the F-Secure product cannot remove or clean the detected file after virus scanning was completed, such as:

• The file is located inside an archive (for example a ZIP, RAR,7z etc.)
• The file is a read-only media file (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM etc.)
• The file is encoded within an email message.
• The system does not have permission to delete the file.
• The file is a temporary file created by an application, like browser downloads in progress, network streams and similar.

Open the scanning report to find the location of the detected file(s).

1. Open F-Secure Internet Security
2. Choose Recent Events
3. Click Scanning Report

Locate the skipped file in the scanning report and follow the file path, for example, C:\Users\xx\xxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxx\

Try the following instructions to manually remove the detected item(s):

• Make sure you have the administrator right or permission to delete the file.
• Some files may be hidden, so set your folder option to show hidden files, folders and drives.

1. Open File Explorer
2. Copy the file path (without the item filenames) where the detected item is located.
3. Paste the copied path into the Address Bar in File Explorer
4. Delete the detected file / the whole archive manually.

Note: If the file path indicates that the file is placed inside an Outlook file, then you can delete all your emails with attachments. It is possible to locate the file, but that process is complicated. The file is not dangerous, because the F-Secure program has identified the file and will not allow the file to run on the computer.

Thank you and have a good day.
