WFBS creates a backup (.ssb) file in ..\Program Files\Trend Micro\Security Agent\BackupAS\Clean_Session__-_1175485229.ssb before cleaning a detected spyware.

To restore the .ssb files:

  1. On the Security Server, copy the Restorespyware.exe file located in ..\PCCSRV\Admin\Utility\RestoreSpyware directory.
  2. Go to the Security Agent machine and paste the copied file into the ..\Program Files\Trend Micro\Security Agent directory.
  3. Still on the Security Agent, click Start > Run.
  4. Type "cmd" and then click OK to open the command prompt.
  5. Go to the ..\Program Files\Trend Micro\Security Agent directory and run the command:

    Restorespyware "<filename>"

    For example: Restorespyware "Clean_Session__-_1175485229.ssb"

     
    You do not have to define the path of the .ssb file as shown in the example above.
  6. Type "Y" then press ENTER to restore the file to its original location.
    All files detected as spyware/grayware during that scan session are restored to their original locations.
    If the file was detected on a removable drive, make sure to plug a flash drive with the same drive letter and accessible during restoration.
  7. Exclude the file that you restore on all scan types, then run another spyware/grayware scan on the machine.
     
    Exclude the detected spyware name on Real-time, Scheduled, and Manual Scans. Otherwise, when the spyware scan has been triggered, it will delete the application/file again.
