    MSERT

    Hello All, thanks for your responses.

    I downloaded the MSERT from Microsoft support and there's

    only 3 options to scan. Quick scan, Full scan and Quick scan with

    a custom file addition. The first Quick scan showed 232 infections

    while scanning as I stated. Well I ran a full scan and found 243 while

    scanning. It seems to be finding the Pups in each scan but DOESN'T

    remove them.?

    At the root of my problem is. I was hacked last week and want to be sure

    I'm clean as possible. Does it sound like MSERT has been helpful? I've locked

    down and changed the necessary items.

    What's a needed next step? much thanks SK.

    @apz -

    Suggestion:

    MSERT is flagging quite a bit.

    That would be quite a list of exclusions and shocking for MSERT to report like that if there are no exclusions set in WD.
    I would also pass some or all of the files in question past VirusTotal.

    VirusTotal

    If they are OK - you're done.

    What are the 243 infected files found while scanning? When MSERT finishes, it says; The scan completed successfully and no viruses, spyware, and other potentially unwanted software were detected.
