SCAN MAKES REPORT ON MALWARE BUT DOES NOT OFFER A SOLUTION!

tebo

Hi, my F-Secure keeps finding the same 2 malware files but says that I need to delete them 'manually'.  They are not held in quarantine so where do I find them please? Result: 2 malware found

Application:W32/Spigot (C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\Search Protection\Uninstall.exe\stream_2.bin)

• C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\Search Protection\Uninstall.exe\stream_2.bin

Application:W32/Spigot (C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\Search Protection\Uninstall.exe\stream_6.bin)

• C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\Search Protection\Uninstall.exe\stream_6.bin

Hi tebo,

 

I checked with our labs regarding your scan report. The path seems to indicate a compressed folder under '\Uninstall.exe\stream_2.bin', so the detections might have been triggered in another binary located inside uninstall.exe.

 

Since this is a PUA developed by Spigot, we'd recommend to follow the instructions provided by the developer on how to uninstall it:
