MSE finds and removes Trojan three times
While on a reputable site for my local newspaper MSE signaled it found TrojanDownloader:JS/Qakbot.H, classifying it as severe. I told it to remove it and it said it succeeded. Ran a Quick Scan right away which came up clean.
12 hours later when I ran CCleaner to clean temp files MSE again found the same Trojan. I had it remove it and it again found it while CCleaner removed the temp files.
So in my history there are three instances of this same Trojan all listed as being removed. Is it really gone?
IF MSE removed the Trojan the first time why did it remain in a temp file? If I had never cleared the temp files using CCleaner it seems to me the Trojan would have remained on my computer. What damage was done in the twelve hours between when MSE initially removed it and it hopefully was removed for good from the temp files?
Is this how MSE is supposed to work? Seems like a flaw if it leaves what it cleans in a temp file? Would a full scan have found the temp file infection?
