Misleading.MySecurityShield [SOLVED by db 1941]

[Keith Robards]

IO360 claims to have identified this in file C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. This is a plain text file, content included below. When trying tio upload the scan log, the attachment window kept declaring that it was an Invalid File, so I have included that below as well.

 

Hosts file:

# Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

#

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

#

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

# space.

#

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

#

# For example:

#

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server

# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

 

127.0.0.1 localhost

I was unable to open the file, my computer said that it doesn't exist [i didn't remove it]. I have my files/folders set to show all files even hidden files, and I still could not find it to run the scan you usually ask for. :-? :oops:

Hope someone can download the file, scan it and and send you the results so you can fix this.

;-) You fixed the last false positive very quickly. :-D

Hi wagygirl,

 

Have you looked to your Quarentine List in IS360?

 

If it is there, please right click and Ignore it.

 

Cheers.

Re: Misleading.MySecurityShield [sOLVED by db 1941]" update

 

It was not in my quarantine list.

This is frustrating. How am I to run the scans to help you fix these errors?

Just report them I guess. :cry:

 

Again you guys fixed it quickly. IObit rocks! :mrgreen:

Hi wagygirl,

 

You have to check the checkbox below to put and see the malware found in quarantine list after scan and hitting Remove and Finish buttons.

 

Click Options=>Options window=>Scan=>Scan Settings=>Scan Parameters=>check the checkbox of Quarantine treats when removing them=>click Apply button=click OK button

 

Cheers.
