@Willehey: Please update your Norton product to its newest build. Then you can consider doing the following:
Option 1: use yr NS or other Norton program (e.g., NIS, NAV) you have to scan said fontdrvhost.exe and/or the folder that contains that exe file. BTW, are you running a Win 7 or Vista computer? Please try performing a full virus check in Windows Safe Mode with Networking (kindly recommended).
Option 2: For more help, you can directly contact Norton Support right here.
To share more related specs with us, you can learn how to make the best of Task Manager:
- press Ctrl + Alt + Del (Delete) > choose "Task Manager" on yr display.
- Or, you simply right click on yr taskbar, then choose "Task Manager" on the menu.
- Look into the Processes tab.
- Locate the mentioned fontdrvhost.exe in the list; right lick on it, select the option "open file location".
Take the following Google Installer(.exe) as an example:
- Right click on the highlighted exe, let yr Norton product scan the application.
Please feel free to update this thread with more details. For example, you can copy and paste that exe on your desktop, then you upload it to Google's Virustotal.com here; more, right click on that exe, share us with its Digital Signatures (if it has one).
