Threat: HTML:Downloader-AV (EXPL)

Viruses and worms
1

Hello–

I ran a boot-time scan, and the following threats appeared:

Threat: HTML:Downloader-AV [Expl]
Threat: JS: Downloader- APO [Trj]

I tried to “repair” and I get the following message:
Error: The system cannot find the file specified

I tried to “move to chest,” and I get the following message:
Error: Error 0vC0000022. (-1073741790)

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Repair only works in the case of a virus infection of a legit file, Trojans, etc. are malicious files so no repair can be effected.

What were the file names and full location ?

Yes, here they are…

C:\Users\Kristin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low.…\8743288566[1].htm
Threat: HTML: Downloader-AV [Expl]

C:\Users\Kristin\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\jhmgmp7g.default\Cache\7\AD\89F12d)1
Threat: JS:Downloader-APO (Trj)

Thanks!

Both were in the browser caches (IE & FF), neither would have been able to be repaired, but why it supposedly couldn’t find the file having detected it, if you were taking this action from a scan report, this file may well have gone.

I’m not aware of that Error 0vC0000022, so I don’t know why it couldn’t be sent to the chest.

In any case I would recommend that you clear the IT Temp Internet Files and the Firefox browser cache (Clear Recent History from the tools option).
