Anti-Virus Plus detects but not removes adware/malware
Hello, I have a Readynas RN102 with 6.4.1. firmware. I have Anti-Virus Plus installed. Today it started detecting Adware (W32/Adware.DEZV-3749 or NsCPUMiner32.exe) and Bitcoinminer trojan (W64Adw...
Ha Kodhee,
Thanks. I always keep my antivirus up to date. So that might be the reason no virus is detected (asuming it was a false detection as well).
I did what you suggested and selected / deselected the files of several maps in which the 'infected' files were located. That was an hour ago and I did not get any message. Neither did my scan I scheduled tonight.
So I'll keep my fingers crossed and do a last check tomorrow morning.
Is info.zip still present? I'm not clear from your post.
I think manual deletion is pretty common behavior when the malware is found inside a zip. I don't think it makes sense program to rebuild the zip file.
So that leaves (a) manual removal or (b) deleting the whole zip (good and bad files). (b) could be more destructive than you want.
Hi Steven,
Thanks for the reply. The issue is I just cannot view the info.zip file. Because the scanner detects the file I guess it's present. The good news is that this info.zip file should not be present in the folders. So, íf i can view it, there's no problem deleting it.
My point is that I hoped the scanner would delete the file, but it does not.
Thanks,
Jan

Perhaps it is embedded in another zip file?
It is a bit troubling, you should be able to find it (since the system says it didn't delete it).
