Is there a Bug in Safe Mode Scan?

Welcome to the Norton Community Forum mash609. I believe there are false positives still being found when you scan your computer in "Safe Mode" depending on which OS you have, I would wait untill we get an update from Norton on this issue before you make any adjustment regarding these findings. As well since you ran other scans and found nothing. I believe a request was submitted in the post prior to yours for just such an update.Again Welcome and take care.................................Gorpy1

Thank You, Gorpy1.

It's a pleasure mash609 Keep in touch with the Norton Community Forum this is a valuable service provided , with knowledge on almost every issue you may encounter as a Symantec/Norton customer and again....Welcome and keep in touch Care....Gorpy1

What about the people that do not read this forum and do a Scan in Safe Mode and quarantine or remove those files?

 

As OP 3 months ago, I'm still waiting to put the "GREEN SOLVED CHECK MARK" on this post. This should have been solved a long time ago. :smileymad:

Will I be able to put the SOLVED CHECK MARK on this Christmas or NEXT Christmas 2012 ?

You're absolutely right!!!!

It is past Christmas 2011 and this is still here.

 

Full scan run in safe mode - identified 4 files from the vista codecs .msi (no action taken and I did not delete)

settings.exe

installedcodec.exe

conflict.exe

mkunicode.dll1

 

Full Path: c:\programdata\vistacodecs\{f663628d-e11a-49fc-8940-920cba1b6f8a}\vista codec package.msi

Also identified vdredist_86.exe as WS.Trojan.H   This file is associated to trial_videoprox3dlv_en.exe - which is a trial version of Magix Video Pro program - downloaded from their website.

 

This was never found in a Normal full scan - I deleted this file and did not run the program.

 

Windows Vista all updates - NIS 2012 all updates

 Looks like we'll have to wait until Next Christmas. I still have my finger on the SOLVED button waiting to push. :smileywink:

Is there any news on Virus Scanning in Safe Mode for either XP or Window 7 ? Or could we still find false positives? Thanks, If anyone knows?  Best. and "Happy New Year All"......Gorpy1

Why hasn't Symantec fixed this problem?

Do they read the forums?

Hello Everyone,

 

I am looking into this problem. Looks like it was solved for brief period of time after the update to 19.1 I believe but as you all can see it did not really fix the problem. I am going to reopen the defect and let you all know once we have it fixed. Thanks.

I just updated too Version: 19.5.0.145 and performed Full Scan in SafeMode.

 

Everything can up Clean :)

 

 

 

 

It works for me two. Thank you very much Symantec.

I have done safe mode scans a few times with Version 19.5.0.145 on Windows XP and Windows 7. All scans were clean. :smileyhappy: It look like Norton has fixed the False Positives in safe mode scans. Thanks Norton. :smileywink:

Also works for me.  Plus computer works better than ever.  Another thanks to Norton!
