Troj/DocDrop-TJ

Hi Guys,

I´m using Sophos anti virus Home edition 9.6.1.

For the last couple of months, I get a "Threat detected by Sophos" message for every scan I make.

It reads: `virus/spywarre` Troj/docDrop-TJ has been detected and moved to quarantine.

I then open the quarantine manager, and can see several thousand (!) locations.

The pathname is almost the same for all of them:
/user/mortenryberg/desktop/sophos/scan_003_6309024125.doc_1_1_4

The next one reads:
/user/mortenryberg/desktop/sophos/scan_003_6309024125.doc_1_1_4_1 and so on and on

I then manually delete all the files in:
/user/mortenryberg/desktop/sophos/

I empty my Thrash bin afterwards.

Then in my next scan, the same happens.....

Can any one tell me whats going on, since I can't get ride of the malware? Where can I find the path to the original source of the malware, so I can delete it?

  • Hi Morten,

    That is quite odd behaviour to be honest, I am going to need some more informatuon.

    If you go to c:/programdata/sophos/Sophos antivirus/logs

    You should find a sav.txt log file. Can you open that and find one of these detections listed. Then copy and paste about 10 lines from the log before and after the detection and paste them on here for me to take a look please.

  • Hi Peter, thx for answering!

    I´m on a mac, so where should I look for the log?

    I did  a search for sav.txt but got nothing.

    I dont have the "show scan log" option prop because a use the free version.

  • Hello Morten Ryberg,

    the equivalent log on a Mac is /Library/Logs/Sophos Anti-Virus.log.

    There are no lines after the above. It ends with the above, but as written before after several thousands lines...

    The Sophos folder on my desktop is empty when the scan starts.

  • Have I copy/paste the right information guys?

  • I dont know if this is helpful, but my sophos folder (for items in quarantine) looks like this:

     

    The scan is from today.

  • Hello Morten Ryberg,

    you are running an on-demand scan (manually or scheduled)? What are its When a threat is found settings and what's in its log (please note that it has its own log in ~/Library/Logs/Sophos Anti-Virus/Scans/, either browse to this location in Finder or access the log from the Scans window). Also - what's the size of these files?

    Christian

  • Hi ,

    Sophos Dashboard, could you check the alert and post its location.
