About this tag
The tag 'infected file' covers discussions about files detected as malicious by antivirus software, often requiring manual removal or specialized tools. Users report issues with infected .exe files creating persistent random-named files in AppData folders, evading scans from programs like Malwarebytes and PC Tools Spyware Doctor. Another common scenario involves infected files within Windows 7 backup sets, where antivirus like BitDefender cannot delete them due to permission restrictions, prompting questions about manual deletion from backup archives. Troubleshooting steps include disabling startup entries via MSCONFIG, blocking processes in Windows Firewall, and seeking methods to remove files from backup sets without compromising data integrity.
