latooots 0 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I was asked to run a scan from ESET before I could continue using Facebook again. Apparently, a post linking to an Imgur album about sorting algorithms is considered as "SPAM" and I had to go through a malware scan. I downloaded and ran the ESET scanner and it allegedly found 2 "malicious files". Now it broke 2 game installations that I had and I risk losing money from this. Any advice on how to recover those 2 files it removed? It doesn't even tell me what the two file were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Moderators Aryeh Goretsky 331 Posted October 25, 2017 ESET Moderators Share Posted October 25, 2017 Hello, I believe Facebook uses a customized version of ESET Online Scanner. If that is the case, then https://support.eset.com/kb2915/ gives instructions on how to restore quarantined files. If that does not work, you will need to contact https://www.facebook.com/security/ directly for assistance. As for the games, I would suggest contacting the authors and asking them if they can send you copies of the removed files.
