| 368720 | 2005-07-02 15:31:00 | Just updated my norton antivirus 02 and firewall 03 to NAV 04 Pro and NIS 04 Pro . Ran a scan and it found among a few joke/prank programs two rather disturbing files . . . C:\Windows\System32\explorer . exe C:\Windows\System32\explorer . dll I finally managed to delete both of them (the dll had to be removed in recovery console) NAV reported both as 'Hacktool . SCKeylogger' and it seems they had been there since October last year :horrified :eek: :stare: NIS also alerted me to an email attempting to be sent to 'shadow_moses15@hotmail . com', and the only reason that came up was because the connection timed out . I have also noticed (and I'm not sure if it's a feature or a problem) that NAV 04 seems to like deleting viruses more than quarantining them, even though I set all options to 'Try to repair then quarantine if unsucessful' :waughh: :help: |

| 368723 | 2005-07-03 01:46:00 | Well if the thing detects something as a virus when it's not, Or I want to analyse it then how am I supposed to do anything about it? By the way, Norton AntiSpam is the most annoying piece of **** I have ever come across :mad: :mad: :mad: Anyone know any good ways to turn it off/get rid of it without norton going ballistic? |
