big problem with norton
« on: February 07, 2006, 08:35:15 PM »
Hi
I just installed the newest version of Norton on my laptop. Up til now I've never had any problems with viruses. All of a sudden Norton says it has found 5. So, I do as it says and do the scan. While the scan is going on approximately 10 IE pop ups come and wont close. The thing is I use firefox and never opened IE. Also, I cant fully shut down my computer now. It shuts down to the blue screen that says windows is shutting down and stays there. So I have to manually turn it off. Add to all of this my laptop is now extremely slow since I put Norton on. I paid 70 dollars for this software. Could anyone please tell me if there's anything I can do to remedy the problems Im having.
Thanks

       jedwardsb......  Contary to what some people say ...Norton does do a good job ....... Which Norton are you using Norton AV 2006 ?    Did you have another Norton product installed prior to the one you have now .........
      Have you tried going into safe mode and then running Norton again ?

      Yes, Im running Norton 2006 and I havent had any other verision of it installed before. Im running Spybot now so hopefully that will solve the problem. But I was wondering, is it normal for Norton to slow down the system so tremendously?
      Thanks to everybody for all of the help.

         jedwardsb... If you are trying to run a full scan with Norton and carry on doing other things ....yes it will slow things right down ....however ...if you set up Norton to do its full scans at a time when your not using the machine , you will not ever know its there .

        That was an asinine post.  I know better.  I've been using Norton for over 3 years.  My son has been using it for over 2 years.  I use a computer at a client's office with Norton Anti-Virus installed.  No problems.

            Yea, so far I've learned to hate Norton too. I'd never had any problems until I installed it....
            I installed hijack this and spybot (both of which claimed to have found lots of spyware). I ran the scans on both of them. I deleted everything that came up in spybot. In spybot, I deleted everything I thought was suspicious. However, Im still having problems. Ill just get random pop ups that go to a variety of websites, including cheaptickets.com and other "valid, respectable" website...This is the log from hijack this....Did I miss anything?
            Thanks again

            Yep, you still have spyware.  Clearly you had a bad case of spyware, and you had it before you installed Norton.   And, even though Norton will slow down your system when doing a full scan, it will not significantly slow down your system when merely monitoring your email traffic.  So, the slowdown you complained of in your first post is definitely partly or mostly attributable to your spyware problem.  Also, Norton did detect 5 viruses, which may have been affecting your system's performance and/or behavior.  

            Since you've scanned with spybot and deleted everything it found and you still have random pop ups, etc., that indicates you had a major spyware/malware infestation.   Spybot is good, but none of the good spyware removal tools can detect and remove 100% of all the stuff that accumulates in bad infestations.  So, yeh, you're going to have to use other (more than one) spyware removal tools and, if you can, get recommendations based on your HijackThis log.  

            In bad spyware/malware infestations, the ultimate solution is formatting your hard drive and restoring your system from your recovery CD.  If have important files on your laptop that have not been backed up and you're still able to backup files from your laptop, I'd do that ASAP.  

            And, know this.  If you have no firewall running and you get online with that laptop, you can quickly and unknowingly get more spyware.

            Agreed. It is not so much a "Big Problem with Norton" as it is a Big Problem with Unsafe Surfing.

            You need several good spyware/adware removal programs and whatever antivirus floats your boat. I don't recommend Norton, but a lot of people use it, and you already have money invested in it.

                Sorry for the delay in my response. Ive been kind of busy..Anyway, I deleted everything that you all said to delete and for the most part that got rid of the problem. However, I still get random pop-ups( granted it is nowhere near as bad as before). Also, somehow, my mouse pad for the laptop isnt working correctly. The right click doesnt work as well as the scroll buttons. There normally is a display in the lower right hand corner that tells me where my finger is on the pad, but that has dissapeared. Maybe I inadvertently turned something off. Is there anyway to fix this?

                  Your computer has ZERO realtime protection.
                  Download, install, update and run the following.

                  1 x Antivirus, 2 x Antispyware, 1 x Firewall.
                  We are wasting time until these things are in place.

                  Before I reinstall Norton, I was wondering if that was the wisest decision or not. The feelings about it seem to be mixed from you all. Also, about the firewall....Windows says there is one already that is guarding my system. Do you all suggest that I get something other than than the standard Windows firewall?

                    I'm not a big fan of Norton as it tries to take over your computer and is high on resources.
                    The XP firewall doesn't monitor outgoing data so I'm not fond of it either.

                    I use AVG Free Antivirus because it runs like a clock and has never let me down.
                    I use Spybot S&D running with the Teatimer because Microsoft Antispyware is like Norton (above).
                    I use Prevx intrusion prevention system as a backup but I swap this around to try different programs
                    like Winpatrol, Microsoft etc. (I'm thinking about trying the new Microsoft one soon)
                    I use the Sygate firewall because I find the Zonealarm GUI very convoluted and confusing.

                    Just my thoughts, others may care to comment.

                    Yes, Im running Norton 2006 and I havent had any other verision of it installed before. Im running Spybot now so hopefully that will solve the problem. But I was wondering, is it normal for Norton to slow down the system so tremendously?
                    Thanks to everybody for all of the help.

                    AVG Free Home Edition

                    Norton is a resource hog.

                    I installed AVG and so far its running well. I did a full system scan. It told me to restart and I did. Im still having problems with pop-ups though. I was wondering if I can do anything about them. This is my updated Hijack this log. If anyone can tell me if its worth trying to fix this problem, I'd appreciate it.

                    Copy and paste your entire logfile into the box and click the analyze button.

                    Your first logfile post found 3 viruses and probably 20 spyware.  Go through them all (Red exclamation marks and yellow question marks) and check to make sure they're something you need.  Try typing each program or string into google.  It usually brings up on the first or second link a page that'll tell you what it is...

                    Yeah, definitely a lot of spyware/adware....

                      Turn on System Restore if applicable. (ME & XP users)

                      Then come back with a fresh Hijackthis log, let's see how good these scanners are.  :)

                        If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

                          Thanks to everyone for the help. I downloaded all of the software that FED suggested and it seems to have gotten rid of all that *censored* spyware. In the process however two things happened that I was wondering if I could get advice on.
                          1) My quick links have disappeared(the ones that are in the lower left hand corner to the right of the Start menu). I tried dragging and dropping my old icons, but that didnt work.
                          2) My mousepad doesnt work right at all.  The scroll parts of the pad don't respond. Lastly, there used to be an icon that showed where my finger was on the mouspad, that too has dissapeared.

                          But aside from those minor issues, everything seems to be fine.

                          To those that wanted to see my updated log, here it is....

                          Both the scroll and icon for your mousepad are probably settings that can be changed from inside your mouse software.

                          Quicklinks, like programs you use a lot?

                          You can get them back by just using the programs a lot.  However, I've got the programs I use a lot pinned to my start menu, and NO quicklinks enabled.  That way, they never go away.....

                          Unsafe browsing and general computer / internet illiteracy IS the users problem.  Don't have sex if you don't know how to use a condom.
                          Also, there are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.

                          Looks like there are still some problems in your HiJack This logfile.  Some marked in the analyzer are ok, but there are a few that should still be looked at (what is the file ??rvices.exe that's running?).

                              DL65, it looks like jedwardsb has just run the scans so far.
                              I am concerned about ??rvices, it's listed as a possible trojan, I wonder why Ewido didn't get it?

                                 I found one place where it refered to that entry as a virus and another that called it a trojan ....... One things for sure , it shouldnt be there at all ....... Did jedwardsb run the scans in safe mode I wonder ..... with system restore turned off ?  I just went thru his latest hijackthis log and I see quite a few items which should be removed ....but until he tells us his machine has been scanned in Safe by the AV and Ewido .........I wouldnt go any further yet .  I didnt see any confirmation that he ran Ewido .....

                                I forgot to post that I had had a problem with starting over in Safe Mode. I attempted to do it, but it stopped at a black screen and wouldnt go any further. I restarted the laptop in normal mode by turning the power off (I had waited for more than an hour) and installed the software previously mentioned.

                                In other news, the pop-ups have returned. But the software must have done something, because the severity in the number of pop-ups has gone down significantly.

                                Im also still having the problems w/ the mousepad and the quick links in the lower left hand corner.

                                Oh, and I did use hijack this to remove the entries you all said to remove. However they returned

                                You're just getting reinfected. If you cannot do EXACTLY what is suggested be up front about it. Do you have a shiny, real Windows CD to reinstall if needed?

                                Thank you all for all of the help. However I have found the solution. I reinstalled Norton and all of a sudden it decided to work. I dont have any more spyware problems.

                                Unless it's vastly improved over the last month or so, NAV will not fix some of the problems that you have.

                                Well, I've also run the other anti-spyware programs that you all suggested. They didnt work when separate, but when they both were running simultaneously, they worked.

                                To make a long story short, I had originally had McCaffe(sp?) pre-installed on my laptop. That worked fine and I never had any problems with it. The subscription ran out and my dad had just bought Norton so I installed it. As soon as McCaffe was gone and Norton was installed I started having serious pop up problems so I uninstalled Norton. The anti-spyware software that was suggested on here such as hijack this worked. But only until I restarted my computer. When I reinstalled Norton all the problems stopped. Weird, huh?

                                  It appears you still seem to have issues.........
                                  Give this a try and see if it cleans things up .

                                  Tools needed for this fix:
                                  Vundo Fix
                                  VirtumundoBegone

                                  O2 - BHO: ATLDistrib Object - {93C6313C-9DB4-4694-8BD0-E378C573A9AD} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\mljjk.dll
                                  O20 - Winlogon Notify: mljjk - C:\WINDOWS\system32\mljjk.dll

                                  Note: This fix only applies to Vundo infections where the O2 entry contains MSEvents or ATLDistrib.

                                  Preperation Steps:

                                  Please do both of the following before we start:

                                  1. Please print these instructions as they will be needed later when Internet access is not available.

                                  2. Save these instructions in word or notepad to the desktop where they can be easily found.

                                  Removal Steps:

                                   Download VundoFix.exe and save it to your desktop.
                                  Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.


                                  Place a check in the checkbox labeled Run VundoFix as a task. You will receive a message stating that VundoFix will close and re-open in a minute or less.


                                  When VundoFix reopens, click the OK button.


                                  Click the Scan for Vundo button.


                                  Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.


                                  You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click the YES button.


                                  Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.


                                  When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click the OK button.


                                  When the computer has shutdown, turn your computer back on.


                                  The Winfixer/Vundo infection should now be cleaned from your computer. If you are still having a problem then please proceed to Step 2.
                                   This step should only be used if the instructions in Step 2 did not remove the infection.

                                  Download VirtumundoBegone and save it to your desktop.

                                  VirtumundoBegone

                                  Reboot your computer into Safe Mode

                                  Then double click VirtumundoBeGone.exe you just downloaded and follow the instructions.

                                  Exit when it has finished

                                  Hopefully , that should have done the trick .

                                  dl65  ::)
                                  If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

                                  This is not a full logfile!
                                  Carry out the procedures listed [highlight]in this post[/highlight] and post a Hijackthis logfile here when done.
                                  If possible, zip the logfile and attach it rather than post it.
