The details of a file installation identified by Norton Insight is pasted below.
Why is this file trusted when there are so few Norton users (less than 5)? Do you know who is installing this on my computer without my permission and knowledge?
When I rename it or delete it, it gets re-installed somehow. Sometimes it makes the folder in which it is installed inaccessible by me, on my own computer, with full administrative rights, after I rename it or look at it with the “locate” button in the File Insight popup.
I have never knowingly requested or installed a content decryption module and have no idea what this is for. It seems rather suspicious. I wonder if it is a tool for someone to acquire information from my computer.
Do you have any more information on it?
Thanks.
