Norton 360, ver. 21.6.0.32:
Norton Insight, in the query "Highest Performance Impact", appears to list multiple instances of some of the files.
The most obvious example is the Malicious Software Removal Tool from Microsoft, mrt.exe. Yet when I explore my hard drive, I only find one instance, and it is at C:\Windows\System32\mrt.exe. All three instances listed by Norton Insight have the same location and same modified-date.
Why is it listed three times?
Results from Norton Insight's analysis follow:
Filename: mrt.exe
Full Path: c:\windows\system32\mrt.exe
