Sophos is unable to remove OSX/iworkS-B.

I followed this article: HERE
but the Sophos scan is still picking it up. Any suggestions?

I attached a screen shot of the Sophos Message. The "How to" link comes up invalid. I have searched for the file and the folder and have not been able to find it.

From the description of this Trojan, looks like you got the Photoshop "free" off a Torrent, although the article says it comes with CS4, and yours is CS3. Torrents for "free" software (pirated software) definitely to be avoided, as they quite often include a little "gift" of malware like this one. These people are criminals, who aren't giving anything away for "free." You pay the price.

You can also search using FindAnyFile http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.php Hold Option key down for FIND, which will give you extended permissions for searching locations. Try entering ""dmg-adobe.part01.rar" Or enter "Vuze Downloads"
