    idk why i have "corperate" on my pc, but anyways... my tamper history on symantec says that C:\Program Files\UPHClean\uphclean.exe tried to suspend rtvscan..

    i am aware symantec is a great load of ****, but is it possible uphclean is infected? how can i find out?

    Symantec is very far from a 'load of ****', they have really good detection.

    Symantec Home is a resource hog. I don't think that the corporate edition has the same failings, but I could be wrong. I think it doesn't though because its "just" an anti-virus as opposed to the "all in one" graphical suite that the consumer level is.

    the only reason i still have it, is for the realtime protection..

    SaS free doesnt provide that, im saving money for the pro edition ^_^

    also, i had spybot s&d on a flash drive.. i use that when i get suspicious

    I highly doubt it. Here is what UPHClean is doing (per MS):

    So it looks like Symantec is interpreting this releasing of handles as an attempt to suspend the real-time scanner. Which I guess, in a way, it is. But that's what it's supposed to do.

    For some extra piece of mind, you could submit your uphclean.exe file to Virus Total for several second opinions. http://www.virustotal.com/
