I have Windows 8.1 64-bit, and after doing a windows defender full scan, it found this virus VirTool:Win32/Obfuscator.XZ. I tried deleting it, but after 20 minutes of hanging, the AV tells me that an error code 0x800700df. occured, saying that "the file exceeds the limit allowed and cannot be saved." How do I kill this virus? I turned off windows defender, installed Bitdefender free edition, and it did not pick up this virus, only Windows defender can pick it up but it can't eliminate it. What can I do to eliminate the virus? Do I need to format the computer?
If it helps, it says that the container file is located in my vuze download folders, in the Skidrow Batman Arkham City GOTY edition that I downloaded.
PLS HELP ME!!!!!

From what I can see this is linked to pirating games. This bypasses the system where games need a code to be played. So I can only assume your game was a pirate copy.
Here is someone with the same problem, try learning off it.

This shouldn't be a virus. The only reason windows defender picks it up is because of the way it uses code. Try adding it to the exclude list as admin

This game is not even installed on my laptop, and it is not pirated. I have an original cd-key of the game from steam, but since the dumbasses WB developers patched the game to remove GFWL, I needed a copy pre-patch, so I downloaded an iso online and used my original cd-key to activate the game, so I never used any kinds of workarounds, cracks or other shit to install my game. Plus like I said it is not installed on my laptop, I installed the game on my desktop, and that PC is running Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 (paid full version) along with Malwarebytes, and neither of them picked anything on my desktop, so what is the catch?

It will just be a file that the anti virus picks up as a virus, that isn't a virus Lol
Just allow or ignore it. Unless you notice changes in performance or behaviour
Then this means that Windows defender is shit and alarmed me for no reason? I mean if Kaspersky and Malwarebytes do not pick up anything on my desktop with the game installed, I guess it is because this file is a false positive and that is why they do not pick it up? I am still confused as to why only Windows defender/MSE can pick up this virus and nothing else does, be it Norton, Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, etc.

Best solution
There are a lot of legit pieces of software that can trigger false positives just on their nature. From what I've read, the specific alert you're receiving is a false positive. It has to do with the nature of the code execution. No antivirus software is perfect, as they run off a set of rules and definitions. That's why it's important to use one active shield, and multiple on demand virus scanners.

ANSWER>>>>> HELLO Gud day, you must familiarize your Application downloads or Game and worse OS or Operating System in your Comuter!!! If you have a GAMES Which has No License number or in SHORT that is "PIRATE" or CRACK one the Microsoft WINDOWS DEFENDER will Block the "VIRTOOL"-that use to HAck a GAME, APPLICATION, and Detected by the WIndows DEfender. Once you remove Virtool or take action your game or Application will not RUN or Responded Anymore.
ANother TIPS: OS or Opearting SYSTEM>> this is a VERY IMPORTANT ONE, When you Buy or Plan o buy a Compuer or Laptop be sure that you buy a LICENSE ONE, because if your not aware of your Operating SYstem and you didn't OFF you WIndows UPDATE the MICROSOFT will DETECTED your UNIT and DESTROY IT IF YOUR ONLINE or using an INTERNET to you PC/LAPTOP....
I HOPE THIS WILL help you! GOD BLESS YOU ALL
