My Norton AntiVirus program tells me I now have a
Trojan Horse on my Home computer, (I'm NOT at home right now) However, Norton says it can Not remove the Virus. It's possible that I am not using a Legit version of XP, possible! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) My one-year subscription of the Norton A.V. expires in about 3 weeks. My question for you: should I just re-up with Norton, or switch to someone else, like McAfee? Also, I noticed quite a few Bundles of software for sale over the weekend, like a McAfee 'Personal Fire Wall'. Is that something that would help me, a great deal, in the future? Thanks in advance for your Opinions & Advice! |

If you have Sober (or a variant) it disables the update functions of Norton and Symantec so that you can't use those tools to clean it. Tricky bugger.
I know symantec has a Sober removal tool. It is at: Sober Removal Tool Run that, then try Trend to run a scan from the Internet. Do this only if you have a fast internet connection. As for Norton or Symantec, 6 of one, half-dozen of the other. No real dif IMO. |
