Trojan horse protected by auto protect.
Risk Name: Trojan horse
Risk Category: Virus
Risk Type: File Based
Status: Quarantined.
No information, no location of where the threat was arrested going in or out, no info on the file name, even the History file will not export to .txt so that it can be read in plain text.
Even "more details" leads to Symantec's generic, no name trojan horse page, duh, as if we didn't know what a trojan horse is already. Even if it is a new one the user should be informed of what and where on their computer.
I don't like this type of anonymous and generic protection. I want details which is why I am going to switch to professional protection when my subscription expires.
Knowing details is a matter of necessity in order to track down the source. Alert Details says High Threat. Click more details it goes to Symantec's web page and says Low Threat.
Get real people. They should rename NIS "Puter Stupid Mechanism".
Even a freeware antivirus/antimalware will not hide the specific details.
And don't hand me any of this, "Norton caught it, auto-protect worked, it's quarantined, it did it's job, don't worry about it."
That in itself is cause for suspicion because why all the secrecy surrounding a file based threat without giving the user the file name and the location of it before it was quarantined?
