Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

[miyazakipig]

Today my Symantec Endpoint Protection started giving me messages about both of these files. Prior to coming here I did run a full scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (turned up nothing) and a full scan on Symantec Endpoint Protection which turned up some kind of "unavaliable trackware" that it deleted and I hope that doesn't compromise anyone's ability to help me. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and version 11.0.5002.333 of Symantec Endpoint Protection.

Thanks in advance to whoever may be able to help. Let me know if any other information is needed to proceed.

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.

 Now that is a stuff up

Uninstall McAfee,   that is one way to screw with the AV's and the system  also use the McAfee removal tool after the standard uninstall http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS101331

You do have an older CLSID variant to get later.
