Virus: Win32:Scar-W [trj] - How to remove??

Viruses and worms

Hey guys!

I was running iantivirus on my 2008 Macbook (OSX 10.9.5) for years and finally upgraded to the Avast Mac Security.

On it’s first scan it found the following: Win32:Scar-W [trj]

I’m not sure where it came from or how long its been there either as the old scanner never picked it up.

It won’t remove it or move it the Chest and I guess I figured that Avast would remove it straight away but hasn’t?

Any suggestions / help would be greatly appreciated!

Thety do not, as Mac’s are not a primary target. Most infections require a direct hardware modification.
