I agree wholeheartedly.
I actually went to Sysinternals and used Root Kit Revealer, which has shown up a heap of NProtect files, which apparently are associated with Nortons recycle bin ( when my subscription runs out this time, I'll never,never use Nortons again).
Anyway I used google to find a way to deal with nprotect & one of the sites shown was CoolWebSearch, but after listening to Steve Gibson & Leo LaPorte I avoided that site like the plague.
del \\?\c:\recycler\nprotect\*.* is supposed to be the command that deletes it, but I suppose Nortons would have to be uninstalled first. Not quite root kit stuff but still a nuisance.
