01. Norton Internet Security 2007
02. Windows Vista, SP1 as far as I know
03. I've done a full system scan with updated definitions and it brings up nothing. I'll do one in safe mode as well. Can I upgrade it to 09 without paying then?- Yes. Please go to the symantec Online Store, Home and Home Office Store of your location. Click on Trailware and Download the N.I.S. Trailware, which will be the N.I.S. 2009. You can then enter your N.I.S. 2007 Product Key on the 2009 Product, which, once you enter the Product Key, you will get Full Features and Options of N.I.S. 2009. That is the way I would do it.
JDLM, the best way to see if you’re eligible for a free update as well as receive it is to go to the Norton Update Center.
I came back to my computer today and found that it had navigated to an internet site on internet explorer. So I reset and on startup it again navigates to this internet site althought it hasn’t changed the homepage. I’ve found what it is… http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?uid=0863776c-5334-46c6-90bd-331360b31ef8 . I did a virus scan and it wasn’t deteced by my Norton I was hoping to remove it myself. I can find the ati2sgav.exe file on my computer and the registry keys. I don’t want to go deleting regisry keys and that but don’t know how else I can remove this. Any help appreciated.
that’s great! I’ll download that and do another scan and see what it comes up with
No virus results in the scan. I read in another thread that NIS 09 doesn’t need LiveUddate so can I uninsall that from my PC now. Also, Windows Secuirty doesn’t recognise an antivirus system, is this OK?

That is in-correct information; N.I.S. needs Norton LiveUpdate; how else would you Update the Product? With N.I.S. 2009, Norton LiveUpdate no longer a "stand-alone" Product.
If there is LiveUpdate still in Add-Remove, then this should have been removed before installing N.I.S. 2009; go ahead and remove it now, but you may get some problems since N.I.S. 2009 is installed.
JDLM,
I think there is a confusion in terms. NIS 2009 has it's own Live Update which is different from the "Symantec Live Update" that you see in Control Panel and Add-Remove Programs.
The "Symantec Live Update" can be uninstalled as it is not needed.
If by chance, this causes issues because you already have NIS 2009 installed, you can uninstall and then re-install NIS 2009.
Ok, so I have LiveUpdate 3.2 (Symantec Corporation) and LiveUpdate Notice (Symantec Corporation) in the Add/Remove List.
JDLM,
You can uninstall BOTH of these entries. They are not needed.

Remove them.
Would a System Restore stop this thing?? If I do a system restore it doesn’t change documents but does it uninstall programs that have been installed since, such as NIS 09?

What "thing"?

What are you trying to stop?
A System Restore will not uninstall programs, but it will make them unusable as the registry will revert back to a previous point without the needed registry keys for the programs to run.
Perhaps you could explain what you wish to do.
This 'thing' that open Inernet Explorer and navigates to tvstream.ath.cx on every startup.
I belive is this: http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?uid=0863776c-5334-46c6-90bd-331360b31ef8
Okay,
I didn't realize you were still infected.
Do a manual "Run Live Update" from the main Norton window to be sure you have the latest definitions.
Unplug from the internet, restart your computer in SAFE MODE and run a full system scan with NIS 2009.
Please report back with your results.
It doesn’t turn up any results
Wow, that was quick.
Are you sure you performed a Full System Scan?
I did one after I updated to NIS 09 but I'm going to do another, just to be sure.
...and again nothing shows up :(
