The reason why you cannot delete it or move it to quarantine is because the process is still running on your computer. Open task manager and go to the processes tab. The process belonging to the virus will be in there, end it. After that, you will find that you are able to delete the virus and move it to quarantine. If your antivirus fails to delete the virus because it's running, you have a terrible antivirus. Once you've ended the process, download autoruns by sysinternals, then open that. Go to the logon tab and look for the auto start entry for the virus, it's probably under HKLM. Delete it. After that, you can delete the virus. I suggest running a scan with malwarebytes anti malware afterwards just to clean up. Good luck!

How do you get rid of Downloader SiboCo B?

I've had this same virus for days. It's been in my Temp folder. Sometimes AVG or a Pandascan can heal it, but then the next time I check the file is infected again. A few times I've put my computer in safe mode and deleted it, but after taking it off safe mode the file is back again. It seems like there's some program that keeps reinstalling the virus and protects it from being deleted normally. If I knew what the program was then I could just turn my computer on safe mode and delete the program and the virus.
