I am running Vista SP2. I have Symantec Endpoint Protection installed on the computer. When I run a "Full Scan" within the first 5 minutes, it pauses for about 10-20 seconds on the following files:
c:\windows\hide_evr2.sys
c:\windows\9129837.exe
c:\windows\system32\VirusRemoval.vbs
c:\windows\system32\NewVirusRemoval.vbs
It doesn't identify the files as being problematic and continues scanning all my files for 1 hour, finding nothing.
I open the folders c:\windows and did not find the file 9129837.exe (folder option is to view hidden files).
I formated the whole hard drive and installed vista and all the updates (took almost a day) and installed the Endpoint Protection and undates, microsoft and symantec are the only two websites I connected during installation. when I ran the full scan again, same thing happened ---paused for about 10-20 seconds on the following files:
c:\windows\hide_evr2.sys
c:\windows\9129837.exe
c:\windows\system32\VirusRemoval.vbs
c:\windows\system32\NewVirusRemoval.vbs
The files aren't showing up in windows explorer when I browse to those folders.
How can I tell if I am infected?
