Norton 360

[jefflad]

Hi,

Running Windows 7 on my Netbook (starter 32 bit) and after recently upgrading to 360v6 I keep getting issues with it where Norton says I need NPE and after loading and running no threats are picked up but 360 does error and keeps saying NPE needed. In the mean time I keep getting popups saying the trojan is being blocked and worked on. Looking at the results it says quarantined I've also tried malwarebytes but that doesn't find anything!

How can I get these trojans off my machine?

ANY other user other than the thread starter is not to use any instructions, scripts or proceedures,  The work though in cleaning a system is individual and only for that system due to a number of factors.

Please do not run any tools unless instructed to do so. 

• We ask you to run different tools in a specific order to ensure the malware is completely removed from your machine, and running any additional tools may detect false positives, interfere with our tools, or cause unforeseen damage or system instability. Do as the instructions ask nothing extra or run things twice
• If I ask a Question just answer it, don't run anything unless it states.
• Major steps used:

1. Find

2. Break

3. Destroy

4. Cleanup  (including system as a whole)

Please read every post completely before doing anything. 

• Pay special attention to the NOTE: lines, these entries identify an individual issue or important step in the cleanup process.

• Logs from malware removal programs (OTL is one of them) can take some time to analyze. I need you to be patient while I analyze any logs you post. Please remember, I am a volunteer, and I do have a life outside of these forum, (sometimes )
