The Cleaner finds RAS trojans, I can't find them on harddrive

J

jbclem

The Cleaner located 3 RAS trojans, they're located in some tmp files,
E:\tmp\tc$11348\keyfinder.exe as an example. The problem is I can't see
these files even though there are plenty of other tmp files in similiar
locations such as
e:\tmp\tc$11868. My Win2000 computer is set to show hidden files, and I'm
using Ztree Win which is a GUI version of XtreeGold file manager that can
see all hidden files as far as I know. Also using a file search program
didn't turn them up either.

What gives? Are there files so hidden that only a program such as the
Cleaner can find them. If so, since the Cleaner didn't delete them (only
reported them), how do I go about making sure they are removed.

Thanks for the links...but is this just your favorite German scanner, or is
there a specific connection to my request? It would be helpful to know
before I enroll in a beginning German class so that I can figure out the 1st
web site you pointed me to.

What I'd really like to know is how to view these hidden files so that I can
delete them. Why is it that even with ZTree I can't find them?

http://www.pctipp.ch is riddled with data trackers !
Once David H Lipman sold out and his multi-av console app. "moved," that was
the time to dump multi-av, get the CLS's for onself, and knock up a couple
of batch files !
....having said that, KAV's switches are awkward, and/or I'm very rusty !
....save your breath EBC/Malke, you're in my killfile !

regards, Richard

The Swiss site is definitely a let down. Aside from the adds etc. the tool
is not easy to d/load for the non German speakers And I thought the Swiss
were multi lingual...(couldn't they add a small note in English??) I think
David's MULTI_AV lost popularity because of that which is exacerbated by
David's retirement He is dearly missed IMO! I found it amazing that such
an effective application can not be hosted by an English speaking site thus
making it more appealing the rest of the world. Even the Germans w/sites
would provide an English translation,oh well.
