norton keeps finding this problem, yet when i search for it i cant find anything.

please help

 

Hi Verdi2,

Welcome to Wilders!

Does norton give more detail on the identification of the file. There are a few different variants of bat.tojan and the variant name should be appended in norton's identification.

Also, these are all batch files yet the file pointed to is an exe.

Has it been deleting it and it keeps reappearing or does it say it could not be accessed and then it just refinds/re-alerts on it later?

Have you tried browsing to it (you probably won't be able to see it in the Recycle Bin applet but if you browse to it through the c:\recycler folder it should be seen there. Make sure it doesn't have double extentions (i.e., make sure that the folder view is set not to hide extentions). If you can, manually delete it from there, you may need to try it from safe mode.

It is probably a false alarm but it is best to be sure by just deleting it.

You might want to post a hijack this log

Can you please download and run HijackThis from

and scan the system but do *not* try to fix anything yet as many of the items listed are necessary, instead press the "save log" button and copy and paste the log here for someone to review and advise on.

Thanks
