unable to manually remove OSX/VSearch-A

jagfnz

Sophus is not removing OSX/Vsearch-A (there are actually two threats detected now OSX/Vsearch-A and OSX/Vsearch-D   see attached graphic).

I have followed the steps in the how to manually remove help files, but with no success.

I haven't "done" anything with the Volume  - see second graphic - am afradi to try ejecting it for fear somehting bad (worse?) might happen.

ANy thoughts on how to proceed would be most welcome.

thanks

John

    NightFalcon,

    The file path you gave was very helpful in that it led me to the same point at which you deleted your files. However, when I right click on the file I am not offered the option to delete backup files. I read somewhere else that revealing hidden files can help somehow. I remember doing that on an old windows computer, but I can't find it on my imac, plus I am not sure that is applicable since I can find the file. I also read that these shouldn't hurt the computer since they are in backup, I am not sure if I am confident in that, I would rather get rid of them.

    Any suggestions on how I can obtain the option to manualy delete this file?

    Thanks :)
