I want to use Norton Power Eraser, as I'm a bit suspicious about some recent issues with my computer. Firstly a few months back I noticed that C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SERVICES.EXE was accessing thread data everytime I logged off the internet. I found this a little suspicious, but did not question it as Norton was allowing this, but over the past month I have noticed that Norton is now blocking this action. Reaction says Unauthorized access blocked.
Also I have noticed that when Norton is updating or scanning I am getting 100% CPU spikes, this has been happening for some time and just furthers my suspicion that there may be some hidden malware that Norton and Malwarebytes is not detecting. My only concern with using Norton Power Eraser is if it removes stuff automatically when it detects something. Basically I want to see what it turns up, and then ask for advice on this forum if something shows up. I dont want it to be removing anything that might end up creating more problems for me.
