[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1931460, member: 38864"] Eh, not really. MalwareBytes has fallen out of favor here for various reasons. Besides, VirusBarrier already found the files. If it can't delete them for permissions reasons, MB won't be able to either. I've done some digging and there's very little information about this. As Ian pointed out, there's an app known as ImageSnap that this seems to be related to, and the developer's name happens to be Robert. Thus... RobSnap. One other app in doing some googling is associated with this... Prey. It's an iOS app with a Mac companion used for finding and protecting iOS devices. I'm not entirely convinced that this is a "legit" piece of malware, but misidentified as one, or flagged as a "possible" one due to what it does, by necessity. ImageSnap's function is to capture still images from a webcam, which could be used for nefarious reasons, but that's more a matter of misuse than maliciousness. What I would do is check to see if you have ImageSnap or Prey installed, then delete them. Empty the Trash, then re-scan with VirusBarrier. You may have to use Find Any File as Patrick suggested to root out more files... search for "Prey" and "ImageSnap" when you do. [/QUOTE]
