Trend Micro PC-cillin

When virus detected in files with ".RB" extension

When PC-cillin cleans a virus, it creates a backup file before the process. Backup infected files have the extension "RB0", or "RB1"~"RB8". The backup files are created in the same folder as the infected files. When virus clean process succeeds you can delete these backup .RB files.

PC-cillin cannot clean or quarantine viruses from backup .RB files. Therefore, when .RB files are detected during a Manual Scan, PC-cillin cannot clean, quarantine or delete the file. If PC-cillin is configured to quarantine the file when the clean process fails, it cannot quarantine the file, but the file name appears on Quarantined files list. You can delete this .RB file from Quarantined files list but actually it isn't deleted. When you perform a Manual Scan the .RB file will be detected again.

To delete .RB files:

  1. On the PC-cillin window, click Settings. The Settings window appears.

  2. On the Settings menu, click the Virus Scan link. The menu expands.

  3. Click the Manual Scan link. The Manual Scan screen appears.

  4. Under Scan action, select Pass from the Action when virus found list.

  5. Scan all drives manually.

  6. When the .RB file is detected, select the file from the list in the Scan Files dialog box.

  7. Click Delete. A confirmation message appears.

  8. Click Yes to delete the file.
