my 2009 (so, it is current) Norton Anti-virus has recently detected a high risk in as described
Packed.Generic.200 - the details are "globalroot\systemroot\system32\uac(ETC)
-- the Norton is unable to fix this problem - AND this being described as a critical high risk I
-- the Norton is unable to fix this problem - AND this being described as a critical high risk I
did a search on this and found places of other people having similar BUT, not exactly as I have to
my problem --- my system is running XP and the aforementioned 2009 Norton Anti-Virus which doesn't
help this problem - in some of the other cases of this type problem - the mention of this type of
problem in one post was being called a rootkit ( I don't know exactly what a rootkit is OR how bad
OR to what extreme it could effect my computer) BUT, I have noticed a significant change for the
worse in my computers performance - people had made mention of some programs to try to fix this -
one was called combofix, I could NEVER get to run or install from the download BUT, if I did a live
install from the download link & running the install directly the prompts did come up - the first
few boxes keep telling me even after disabling the program all together from the services.msc
option that it detected my anti-virus running AFTER still choosing to go though with the program,
it said NOT to rename program file which I never did & then it closed -- I also have tried malware
bytes, PANDA rootkit detector, a similar program by SOPHOS - but, nothing has worked yet or been
detected by other programs HOWEVER, my Norton does detect this ---- SO, anyway I am just going to
flood the web at different places like this HOPEFULLY, someone will have some kind of idea, perhaps
have run into this problem before me & might possibly know of any idea of how to fix this problem
-- I have also tried in earlier attempt of just taking the simple easy approach by going to my file
search (which is the Windows desktop search BUT, I prefer the Classic search which you can open
from the open desktop search HOWEVER, for some reason when clicking the use classic seach, it
triggers a computer reboot SO, I am not sure if this part of the defense built into the problem
(rootkit or whatever) to keep someone from getting at it - I was going to search for the problem
file & just delete it - but, I can't get at it -- SO, perhaps some one will know
