I have a virus on my old hard disk that MSert, MalwareBytes, SuperAntiSpyware, and Windows Defender either will not detect, or will not touch. WD is the only anti-virus that would even detect this virus, but wouldn't remove it. When I got the toast notification that it had been found and to click for options, I got this:
Which surprised the hell out of me. I am the "IT administrator" and I am "El Super User" on my machine. Nothing has been limited in any way. At least not by me.
I am wondering if there is a way to get rid of this virus somehow. I did a clean install to a new hard drive, but that is turning into a nightmare. My old installation was running like a top, except for this virus I can't get rid of.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent anti-virus? Something with some teeth that will take on this thing?
