suspicious 'password protected' files..

Viruses and worms
1

hello:)

I scanned my pc with spybot s&d, it detected the virtumonde trojan, which i repaired,
then just did a thorough scan with avast, and the same trojan appeared, so i moved the two files to the chest…
(the files are A0018170.dll & senekaxnrwxiqp.dll)

But some other files came up with the message “unable to scan, archive file is password protected”
amongst these are several files called sbRecovery.ini, but there are also some that seem a bit fishy…
they are:

winvsnet.tmp
pqecjefh.job
wvUklYrP.dll

What should I do about these files? Is there any way I could scan them?

Thanks so much in advance:-)
kind regards

Most likely, you’re trying to scan files that are already in a quarantine.

This is perfectly normal, as spybot and avast quarantine files that are bad, so that you, nor your computer can access them. This is to prevent you from being attacked again.

phew, that’s a relief!
