When Sophos reported that my laptop was infected with W32/Confick-D, a worm, I followed directions and downloiaded a file to remove this worm. After running it and successfully removing both Mal/ConfInf-A and W32/Confick-D, the report listed a number of files which it said it "Could not checK", but which were corrupted. A much larger number of files also say "Could not check", but then have the notation "virus scan failed" in parentheses after the file information. I did notice that most of the "virus scan failed" files were on my flashdrive.
Two questions:
a) Is it possible to repair the damaged files?
b) What does it mean that ""virus scan failed", why would it fail, and what if anything should I do about it?
Okay, that's really 4 questions.
