why is Spyware: Riskware:W32/PWDump Application.HackTool.PwDump exxcluded from my scans

mj2tc

When i do a scan that finds no adware/malware etc if i ask for statistics it lists 

 

Excluded:

• Spyware: Riskware:W32/PWDump Application.HackTool.PwDump

I never asked it to do this so how do I get rid of this malware? All scans fail to pick it up (maybe because somehow my pc is excluding it from lists as if i want it to be there-I dont!)

 

How do I un-exclude it???

Hello,

 

Sorry if next words wil be not helpful.

 

- For any changes.. you should be with Administrator rights (or UAC-prompt during access to place, where able to change settings);

 

- Open F-Secure Launch Pad (picture on desktop) -> Computer Security -> Tools/Settings -> here will be two various Excluded lists.

First will be on real-time scanning settings (here will be addition option for edit/change Exclusion list).

Second one for "manual-scan"-settings part.

You should to check both places... and check all three variants of exclusion (application/objects/types/etc.).

Remove from list... probably common actions. After that need to choose "OK" like save.

 

--------------------

 

If current words not really helpful. You probably able to get Help from any windows of F-Secure installation (UI). And check description for excluded lists.

 

Also it's can be helpful.. if you have... another version of F-Secure... with other steps for current actions.
