Trojan.ADH

I was going through some old CD's today and I had one that was old and not used anymore. I removed it from the CD player and destroyed it. A moment later Norton popped up and told me that I had an unresolvable threat on that drive in a file. My only options were to 'rescan' or 'get help' I did a rescan and it brought back up the same error even though I had a different CD in the drive. I thought the error must be caught in my cache, buffer, etc. So I did a complete shut down and when I rebooted the same error popped up. Now I'm stumped.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

TIA

Does auto protected block it?is your norton monitor that you are secure? If yes then you are safe.

Krombacher stated that Auto-Protect was disabled at the time.  If the file was not opened the system should be safe.  Trojan.ADH is a heuristic detection and so the file may actually be a legitimate one, as the detection certainty is less than it would be had the file matched a signature for a known threat.  The file could be uploaded to VirusTotal to see if other vendors also find the file suspicious.

 

Hello krombacher

 

Welcome to the Norton Community Forum

 

I don't know why you would have auto protect turned off when it should always be on. What Norton product do you have and what is the version number of it please? What operating system and sp are you using and is it 32 or 64 bit please.?

 

Have you run a full manual scan since you have done this action to see if you are infected and have you run any seondary on demand scans like with the free versions of Malwarebytes or SuperAntiSpyware?

 

Please come back and let us know. Thanks.

my os: win2k pro sp4

my norton version: 2005

 

afterwards, i ran a complete system scan with today's virusdefs and nothing suspicious has been found.

can i be sure to be on the safe side?

 

btw: where does norton place the files when auto-protect denies access to them?

Hello krombacher

 

You are running a very old NIS which I see is because of your operating system.. I'm not sure if any one will remember where those files are placed since it is such an old program, sorry.

Check Norton Quarantine for files that have been removed.
