    I'm dealing with a dangerous malware situation and I need professional help dealing with it.


    Here’s what happened: I have an external SSD with 400GB of data. In 2019, I transferred data from an old USB from 2012 to this SSD. This USB had a Trojan on it that I later found out through the SSD.


    When I inserted my external SSD into my new PC, a Trojan was detected by Windows Defender WD on my new PC under the name “Phonzy.A!ml”. It was quarantined. I decide to plug the source of the malware the USB, aka the F: drive in this story into an old laptop, and the same WD report pops up. Trojan:Win32/Phonzy.A!ml. However no other threat was detected by WD at this point, only this specific threat.

    I decide to restore the file that was quarantined on my old laptop. At this stage, a second, different threat gets detected by WD: a worm under the name Jenxcus.ND aka System.VBS.

    This threat was not identified by my new PC, it was only identified after I restored the first malware on the old laptop. This file in fact did not ever show up in any of my directories in my F: drive the original infecting USB. It was identified on my old laptop after I restored the first malware the Trojan Phonzy one.

    So, what worries me is: what happened to Jenxcus aka System.VBS on my new PC which never identified it? The newer PC identified a single threat: TrojanTrojan detected, followed by Jenxcus worm on my 400GB SSD. The threat was quarantined. What... :phonzy. older laptop also identified a single threat, until I restored that threat. At this point it detected a second threat: System.VBS aka Worm:Jenxcus.ND. I haven’t even clicked any links or executed any files, I simply restored a threat.


    I ran multiple scans on both my computers, on the infected drive, and the SSD on which I first identified this threat. I found nothing so far.


    But naturally the situation still worries me.


    What should I do, and how do I deal with this? Is my PC safe? Why did WD not detect System.vbs or Jenxcus?


    Thanks.

    :)

  3. Trojan in Allowed Items and Quarantines

    Windows Defender detected a Trojan Virus on a full scan. When I reviewed the history it indicated that the Trojan was in "allowed threats" as well as in "quarantined threats." How could that happen? How can I find out if the virus was removed?

    [Original Title: Trojan virus]

    Trojan in Allowed Items and Quarantines

    Just ran a scan and the Trojan virus showed up again. Trojan:JS/Flafisi.D It is in the detected/quarantined threats as well as allowed threats. I have tried to locate the file; however, I am unable to find it. How do I find it and delete it?
