I am getting Infected files at location of    /;      showing in my log Files....where is that and how do I eliminate?

 

BTW, the forum will not allow me to search with this term as it is too few characters.....

My understanding is that you chose to scan all folders from the root folder (/). If you ran a smart scan or custom scan and you didn't tick "Scan without cleaning" box, the threats should have been cleaned automatically.

If you have not ticked the box and the threats were not cleaned automatically, you can right click on the scan log entry and click 'Show' to see where the infected files are (See this existing post for a screenshot and more detail). You could then perform a custom scan targeting that directory or file, or now perform a deep scan via the scan window.

 

It's also a good idea to double check your default scan settings to see if cleaning is turned on (by default it is set to the middle setting).

 

Also, cleaning isn't performed at all if you have dragged a file or folder (or volume) into Cyber Security to scan for some reason.

Thanks for replying to my scan question.
I had just never seen the semicolon in a scan path before.

Found location via logs, focused new scan there and set to DESTROY then re-scanned, all is good.

 

thanks
