Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

[spoonmuppet]

I am getting random sounds playing in the background. Some 'mouse click' sounds, some error sounds and some clips from songs, or films. It's definitely not my content playing. Research on the Internet suggests this is quite a commonly known piece of spyware known as indt2.sys, which I can confirm is running on my PC, together with related files andt.sys and perfs.exe.

If I stop these processes from Task Manager then the problem stops temporarily, until the processes restart themselves.

Norton doesn't even seem to detect these are running. Can anybody help before I switch to a different virus/spyware package?

Thanks.

indt2.sysWe suggest you to remove indt2.sys from your computer as soon as possible.
Indt2.sys is Trojan/Backdoor.
Kill the file indt2.sys and remove indt2.sys from Windows startup.

The Microsoft Malicious software RemovalTool  should also help.

Let us know. I am sure there are other options

As you can see the symantec people are probably working on it as we speak. check out the removal tools already in use

Thanks. I used Prevx CSI in the end. Seems much lighter and more efficient than Symantec and they were already on the case with this piece of Malware. Not really that impressed with Norton. Takes forever to scan and really impairs the performance of my PC. This other package seems not to suffer from the same drawbacks and has solved my problem.

Yeah, the same things happening to me and a full Norton scan still finds nothing. I'll try Prevx and see what happens.

I had this same problem and used Prevx CSI to remove the malware which it seems to have accomplished. However, I lost my internet connection (which I was able to repair) and now my Norton Anti-Virus program will not launch when I select it from the Programs list. During the Prevx clean-up process it instructed me to turn off all anti-virus programs which I did and now Norton won't run.  Anyone have any ideas?
