    Windows Defender picks up Win32/deplock but cannot get rid of it?


    Dear All,

    I wonder whether you've come across this one: I run Windows 20175 and I use MalwareBytes as main protection software. Yesterday I decided to also enable Windows Defender to fully scan the system.

    Windows Defender found two trojans: One (which I can't remember its name!) and Win32/deplock. I got Defender to "take action"; It then showed that "dealt with all threats". Upon restart, I run a second full scan; the first threat has not come back since, but win32/deplock keeps appearing. Each time I get Defender to take action, it claims it does, shows that "threats have been dealt with" but after restart and full scan it appears again.

    Interestingly, MalwareBytes has never picked either of these two as threats. Needless to say MalwareBytes and Defender are full up-to-date with latest updates.

    I have also run Defender in off-line mode, same result, win32/deplock still being picked up.

    Booted in Safe Mode, tried to run Defender but it's not enabled as a service under Safe Mode.

    Any thoughts? Could it be a false positive?

    Has anyone got a similar experience?


    Thanks a lot!
    Christos

    :)

    Windows Defender picks up Win32/deplock but cannot get rid of it?

    Worm: Win32/Rebhip.Z and Worm: Win32/Rebhip.U

    Hi,

    my computer has been infected by these 2 viruses (Worm: Win32/Rebhip.Z and Worm: Win32/Rebhip.U). Whenever I scan with Windows Defender it does not find anything. However, when i reboot the computer it automatically quarantines them each time i reboot.

    How do i get rid of these viruses?? Is there a safe program outside of Windows Defender? I tried deleting some temporary files and updating my java and chrome as this website suggested but no luck. Please help! Thanks!
