It's still doing the same thing, except now I can't click on any files, or I get the message.

so I've plugged the hard drive in my new computer and I'm re scanning, then I'm going to do AVG.:roll: Norton blocks the virus, but it does not detect it. It's like its a 2 part virus.

I might have just had a similar problem. On an older computer I was using the other day, I opened up the browser, and a program that was just called anti virus 2009 asking me to download. The window wouldn't close until I used the task manager. I restarted, and ran an Avast scan but nothing was found should I be more worried.

What I was getting was a window that said program error, you have corrupted files and you need to download our virus program (which is the virus). Beyond that I can't get on the internet, access my files. Norton says it blocked it, but when you scan, it comes up with nothing.:dead:

Scan finished. Norton finds nothing:roll:

deleted - double post.

Are you doing all this in safe mode?

And have you disabled / wiped your restore points?

Hey Niki, you are aware that Norton Anti-Virus is notorious (pun intended) for being a "back-door" program? That basically means that certain viruses and trojans can actually come through into your computer via Norton. Abandon it.

I personally use the Free Spyware Adware Scanner and Remover. Although you need to pay $30 bucks for it to actually be useful (it's really not free; of course you won't have to pay if you don't mind scouting around manually and finding the infected files and deleting/fixing them), it will scan for viruses and even trojans (surprisingly, they're not in the name).

It's worked great for me for several months now. I personally feel AVG is overrated and so is Avast!.

Here's a link to it:

Of course, if that doesn't float your boat, try PREVX-CSI (which you'll have to pay for IF you want it to do the automatic removal and fixing of infected files, just like the one posted above; it will scan, but that's it; I used it when I had that advertising virus/trojan enter my computer; made a thread about it in January I think it was).

Problem solved
 

AVG 1 Virus 0

Norton depth charged off my HD

News at 11



I discovered the hard way that Norton and AVG don't play nicely together. That took awhile to fix.:dead:

But after 2 hours of scanning, AVG found it.

Now time to put my old computer back together.

It's a good feeling isn't it.

Well done.:up:

wait, how do you do that?

Good point. Viruses can hide in the Restore area since it is off limits from normal scanning, etc.

So should I turn that off, then re-scan it?

Yep - that will delete it.
