Hello,


This will remove it.


FRST.gif
Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

icon_exclaim.gif
This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.
icon_exclaim.gif

icon_exclaim.gif
Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

  • Right-click on
    FRST.gif
    icon and select
    RunAsAdmin.jpg
    Run as Administrator to start the tool.
    (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
  • Press the Fix button just once and wait.
  • If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
  • When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

Agreed - I ran Defender (full scan) again and got the same results - I've attached both the scan detail screenshot and the result after selecting 'remove' (shows an error: Error Code: 0x800700df. The file size exceeds the limit allowed and cannot be saved).

What next please?

I followed your instructions exactly - Downloaded the file you posted and saved to my desktop. Ran the tool as 'Administrator' and selected fix and copied the results back onto this thread.

I will do so again.

Hi,

Exactly the same I'm afraid - Windows Defender finds the threat on a 'Full Scan' but cannot apply the fix (Error Code: 0x800700df. The file size exceeds the limit allowed and cannot be saved).

What next please?
