Hoping someone can help. I keep getting messages similar to this:
Scan type: Auto-Protect Scan
Event: Security Risk Found!
Security risk detected: Trojan.Gen.2
File: C:\Windows\Installer\{a54b25a2-2196-0a20-fab7-cb13

Action taken: Quarantine succeeded : Access denied

I have tried a full scan with Symantic antivirus as well as the downloadable rootkit tool from nortan, but I keep getting the same messages every time I restart. Any ideas?

I get a new set of messages about Trojan.Gen.2 and Hacktool.Rootkit around every 5 minutes. At the same time Malwarebites blocks something trying to access outside IP addresses.

Malwarebytes Realtime and Norton together is a NO.

ok, I stopped malewarebytes but I am still recieving the massages from symantec. Thank you for replying Quads. I just read a post that you helped another user with a similar issue. I'm afraid to try running the things you suggested though because of all the warnings.

C:\Users\t[username]\AppData\Local\{[Numbers]}
C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{[Numbers]}
The numbers are the same for both locations, Norton has detected one I need the username one is under.

my user name is David. I can't seem to find the numbers file in the directory you mentioned. Is it hidden somehow? Thanks.

Is your system set to show hidden files and folders etc.??
It may be under / in someone elses user account.

I can't find it in any user account. I only have my own, Default and Public. I verified that hidden files and folders are visible. I tried typing it directly into explorers toolbar and it was not found.
