No its not just cause of that. Norton really does suck. Use The SHield Proffessional 2005 or Bitdefender 2005 and it should take it off. I mean Norton is a waste of space. First of all it uses TONS of ram and second its not rated on the top 5 so i mean it just sucks. Mcafee can do better than that. Only dumb corporate buisnesses use this thats about it.

Well, BitDefender kinda sucks, too. Kevin Rose did a round of of brand name firewalls way back when he used to work for TechTV, and it showed that BitDefender was the worst out of the programs that he tested.

I agree, Norton is a waste of space, but many people are stuck with it because it comes with so many new computers nowaday.

Actually, Mcafee kinda stinks, too. I looked at several tests of antivirus programs, and it showed the Mcafee had a low detection rate, and it is a bloated software.

Try putting the virus/trojan/whatevers name into Google, allot of times that will bring up removals for it.

Oh, and to start your computer in Safe Mode, restart your computer, and..uh..well it depends on what ver you have, you have to hit F8(I think) on the right screen, I can't exactly say which one, so just keep hitting F8 on each screen or..idk.

If you know the location and the file name(s) of the file in question, start your computer in SAFE MODE. Then physically delete the file(s) and rerun your NAV once again. After the complete satisfaction that your computer is free from any anomalies, restart your computer to the NORMAL MODE.

Good luck.

How would one go about starting their computer in Safe Mode? And how does Safe Mode differ from when the computer is running normally?

2. Bogus Grand Theft Auto Iv Contains Trojan

   (7)

   Well not really surprise that hackers are targeting this game after scoring $310 million
   dollars in the first day, and what gets me is that people were downloading the pc version days
   before it came out, So either complete stupidity on the fact people though it came out early or the
   fact they didn't know that these games would loaded with malware goodies. Nonetheless, I think
   its time gaming companies start taking cheat codes out of games and write protect files and that way
   they can't be over written. SOURCE ....

4. New Rootkit Uses Old Trick To Hide

   Info on Trojan.Mebroot (2)

   Well it seems Trojans and root kits are making a deadly combination this especially with a technique
   thats pretty darn old. QUOTE The malware, called Trojan.Mebroot by Symantec, installs itself on
   the first part of the computer's hard drive to be read on startup, then makes changes to the
   Windows kernel, making it hard for security software to detect it. Well at least I understand
   how or where root kits become effective a bit more, but really you think if everyone is aware of it
   they would have found a way to patch that hole. I guess not since 5000 computer....

6. New Twist On An Old Backdoor Trojan

   Suspect this trojan infects or changes BIOS settings (2)

   Seems, there is a variant of backdoor.Sdbot family of worms and IRC backdoor Trojans that is
   disguised as Microsoft Security Adviser. This is quite nasty because it infects system files and is
   very difficult to remove. Trend Micro has a nice online tool called House Call but this trojan
   survived that so you have to look elsewhere to remove it. No telling what the triggers are but I
   simply removed the files and the registry keys pointing to them and now I can't even get into my
   BIOS. Search for msscan.exe if you have it then find RegRun on the net and they claim it r....

   randomly changes its full file name when a weak anti-spyware attempts to remove it improperly. I
   have been using Spybot Search & Destroy and Norton Anti-Virus Corporate Edition for many years and
   have never seen such a resilient torjan. Recently I have tried AVG Anti-Spyware but it too....
