I have Norton Antivirus 2010. I keep it thoughly updated for virus definitions.
However, I recently acquired a virus that masquerades as the program "AV Security Suite". It blocks all programs from functioning except for iexplore and firefox and tries to make you pay for a fake program to remove the viruses it says you have. The only sites that function on the new above browsers is the site where you "pay" for said fake program, and various porn sites that it will auto open every once in a while.
I've since manually removed the virus thanks to this guide: http://www.virusremovalguru.com/?p=6257
But my worry is that it got past Norton, despite this being not a new virus and my definitions are very up to date. I've spoken with people that have had the same problem. Would the Norton team please look into protecting against this debilitating virus?
