Adaware found win32.PUP.Bandoo(800) but cannot remove it. I tried restarting after running adaware but it is still there.

I can't seem to find where the log of the scan is in adaware.

Hi iantemple,

Is there something with Bandoo in "Control Panel" -> "Add and remove programs" (XP) or "Programs and features" (Vista and Windows 7)? Is it possible to uninstall it the normal way?

Can't find it anywhere.

You find the log file here:

XP - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware\Logs\Scan_<date information>.log
Vista and 7 - C:\ProgramData\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware\Logs\Scan_<date information>.log

Paste its content into your answer.

I cannot find this location on my computer windows 7. C:\ProgramData\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware\Logs\Scan_<date information>.log
Lavasoft folder doesn't contain a log file that i can see either.

Is it the folder ProgramData you cannot see in C:\?
It is usually hidden and you can show hidden and operating system files by following http://www.bleepingc...tutorial62.html

i posted a log file recently and didn't need a tutorial. It must be here somewhere. Shouldn't it be obvious.

I managed to quarantene the item. Is that as good as removing it?

[CeciliaB]

It is always better to quarantine than to delete a file since all antivirus programs have false positives now and then. A quarantined file isn't active and can't do any harm.

[iantemple]

For some reason my antivirus program didn't detect this infection. It's not the firs time either.

[CeciliaB]

Ad-Aware is also an antivirus program.
