virus problem

[black_magiic]

I have reason to believe that my computer is infected with a virus. Norton auto protect has been disable and it wont let me re-enable it and live update is the same. I have done a virus scan with norton and it came up with nothing I also used the Trend Micro Systems online scanner thing. The online one said I have some JAVA NOCHEAT thing. Any ideas or solutions

Norton Antivirus Didnt detect it when I scanned it following the instructions on the website you linked to

cant help much, the system should be infront of u to get over this things

but if can run system is safe mode, and then scan ur system, make sure that system restore funcion is disabled....

hope this helps

I will try scanning in safe mode and see if it helps anything

I tried scanning in safe mode and norton still didnt detect anything. I have also rescanned with the trend micro systems online scanner and it says its there. I also scanned with TDS-3 and it didnt find it.

Also if you havnt already give this scanner a try:http://www.pandasoftware.com/actives..._principal.htm

did you
turn system restore off?
remove /system volume information from NAV exceptions ?
upgrade dfinations?
and then and only then scan

if u did all this, things should be fine, if not, format

I think I figured it out. Its some norton av problem. It says to uninstall and reinstall

I got it all fixed up thanks for everyones help :-)

[black_magiic]

I spoke to soon. A new problem has raised its ugly head. I did what the symantec help thing said. I uninstalled and reinstalled it fixed the problem but when I updated my virus definitions it went back to Error for e-mail scanning and auto-protect is disabled. The only thing I find weird is the other computer in the house with norton doesnt have this problem. Whats going on

[ferrarimodena360]

autoprotect gets disabled in NAV for systems on lan, its common ppoblem
if it recovers in few seconds after startup...things are cool

or else try a diff AV, may be that free one...shit name......AVG rt?http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php

just an fyi this guy is obivously using a warez copy of norton 2003, and for the most part that is a common issue with that warez version of norton. i suggest getting avast or nod32 they tend to be top of the line

[black_magiic]

Actually im not using a "warez" copy im using a perfectly legitimate copy that I paid for along with the 40 dollar subscription fee I paid. That is why I am fairly annoyed because nothing seems to fix it. I would use another virus scanner but I paid money for norton and I intend to use it. Though I will definately be switching when my subscription ends until then I would like norton to work as it is supposed to because with out auto-protect its pretty much useless.
