Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

[PaulSmith96]

I keep getting messages from autoprotect that it has blocked these three viruses. Apparently Autoprotect has done this over 600 times in the past three days. Apparently lots of people have had this problem.

I've run a full system scan and Norton Power Eraser to no avail.

Running Windows 7 Pro on an HP Probook 4525s. Antivirus is Norton Security 2012.

Welcome Paul,

Sorry we're meeting under these circumstances. You have a choice to make. You can do nothing and wait for user, volunteer to see your message and guide you to the solution or you can choose to go to one of these other sites and work with just one of their experts. In any case you will have to stick with the one you choose until the end. The other sites are

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 )
  
  
• Attention to detail is important! Since I cannot see or directly interact with your computer I am dependent on you to "be my eyes" and provide as much information as you can regarding the current state of your computer.
