I have my "Enable Boot Time Protection" set to "Aggressive", yet something is not being found. I have been advised to do a full depth boot-time scan, and my advisor says it might take hours.
How do I do this?
You should ask your 'advisor' for his suggestion.
What is happening to make you think there is something to be found?

Actually I think the term 'full depth boot-time scan is used with the AVAST program as a very in depth scan, by default it scans archive files, to scan these the contents are unpacked to a temp location and scanned. So the scanned data and scanned files totals included the files unpacked size of these archives.
I agree you need to have your "advisor" speak in Nortonese as peterweb suggests.
Data: 081313: Norton software found and quarantined a backdoor Trojan called idqbe32.dll, but ever since then, upon startups, I get a Warning box entitled RegSvr32, with the message “The module ‘C:\Users\aaamilt\AppData\Local\Aud...\idqbe.dll’ failed to load...The specified module could not be found.”
Conclusion: Something else should have been removed along with that Trojan.
A Norton chat and Windows updates of 081413 – 14 of them – failed to correct the problem.
A full scan with Malwarebytes PRO found and handled many problems but not that one. A full scan with Windows Defender found and removed ONE more item but not related to this problem (it was just Adware).
Working with Microsoft Community forums and MSCONFIG enabled me to discover that my computer contained no file named “idqbe32.dll”, and the only similar file name found was “idqbe32.2”, which was in the Audacity folder.
Copying THAT file to another folder; changing its name to “idqbe32.dll”; and moving it back to Audacity folder, only changed the wording of the Warning box.
Deleting that file and emptying the recycle bin only brought back the original Warning box.
I'm not sure if you have gone too far on your own already to have our Malware expert, Quads, look at your system. But you can try.
You should post this in the Malware Discussion board for help removing this problem. http://community.norton.com/t5/Malware-Discussion/bd-p/Malware
Start by reading Guidelines in the first post at the top of the page.
Be sure you do not run any scans or utilities until instructed by the Malware Expert (Quads), as changes made with those programs can remove the traces of the malware that are needed to diagnose and fix the problem.
