Unable to cleanup Troj/EncProc-U on iMac

unfit4duty

Sophos was unable to cleanup the above mentioned malware contained in a file named upd.DAT. It was first detected over a year ago but I have never been able to clean it up. Whenever I scan, it shows up again. Is there any action I can take to eliminate it?

    Here's the latest Christian,

    Still no luck getting rid of it. Sophos, on the Mac side, still shows it in quarantine.

    I downloaded the PC version of Sophos on the Windows side, scanned, and found nothing. I searched on the Windows side and asked that it include "hidden" files. Still nothing. Norton sees nothing on the Windows side either.

    So, I can't find the folder or file by searching on either side. I only see it via Sophos on the Mac side. I have been unable to delete it. It's in an interesting looking folder/directory named ish4435888 (if I search for that folder, I can't find it...only visible via Sophos). In addition to the dat folder, there is a css folder with just a couple of .css files, an image folder with a few PNG files (mostly buttons and colors), a locale folder with several UNIX executables in it, and a GIMP file. Many of these date to 2013/14 when I was taking a html class.

    Since I can't seem to touch it, as long as it's in quarantine am I likely OK? Thanks again for your advice.
