Re: Security Risks Detected

To make sure you have no threats on your machine do this:

0. Update your Norton 360 until it gets no new updates, reboot into Safe Mode

1. Boot up in Safe Mode (by booting press F8 until you see a list, there select Safe Mode)

2. When Windows is loaded, open Norton 360, and run a Full System Scan

3. Reboot

 

Let us know the results.

76 were found. It said it was tracking cookies, and risk was low.

Re: Security Risks Detected

I would say yes. Tracking cookies are very very low ""threats"", if we can call them threats. Nothing to worry about ;).

Phew, I was so paranoid. Seeing as it had "ad." which seems like adware and stuff.

Re: Security Risks Detected

Maybe you saw them in your quarantine? Thats just the history of the viruses you had and they are there if you want to restore them.
