Don't know how it happened as I've been pretty careful w/my computer for many years. Regardless, I now have the Win32/Dynamer!ac Trojan virus embedded in my D:/preload
Windows Defender (8.1) finds it, takes over an hour to remove it (and report it removed) only to have a fresh scan redetect it. I've tried running Defender in Safe Mode (again, found and over an hour to remove it) and still a fresh scan after rebooting redetects it. Short of a complete OS reinstall, any ideas on how to get rid of this? I've thought of having Defender simply quarantine it since it doesn't seem able to remove it, is that a decent option? TIA!... Tomac ETA: Been reading up on this, and it looks like it could be a false positive.

I run Malwarebytes and Microsoft security essentials...also, not sure if you are on the admin account when surfing the web...use a standard account.
You can download both for free. |

I've been using Malwarebytes Premium for years and it detects nothing (D drive image location?). The more I read about this, the more I think it's a false positive and will exclude it from Defender. |

Try SuperAntiSpyware. At the worst case, you will need to use HijackThis.

You likely have a root kit. You need to scan it offline with something, preferably several somethings.
