This is my first time on this forum but i'm not a newbie to do with computers.
Recently when my Weekly scan occurs, I have noticed in the "Scan in Progress" part (where the files are shown that are being scanned) there have been file names such as "Trojan.horst" "adware.borlen" "w32.mytob.be@mm" and several others.
I run a secure computer, don't download games/songs and use the internet as a normal person would.
My question is, why is my scanner overlooking these files and not removing them? I mean. after all, they are viruses/trojans.- The scanner is set to remove "Low risk" files upon decision by me. - Normally it will find a few tracking cookies and I will just remove them.
Upon looking on the norton website, all of the names of the bad files I see are "Low Risk" - but i just don't like the idea of several trojans on my computer, even if they are low risk.
Incase your wondering, I automatically update the norton antivirus definitions each day.
I am using: "Norton Internet Security Version 15.5.0.23" as well as when I click on the Norton symbol on the task bar, it says on the pop up page "Norton Protection Centre"
I may be missing some information out, but basically want to get rid of these bad files.
Thank you so much in advance, just want to be at ease - am very worried at the moment
