Norton 2010 got me infected

I just might look into that. Thank you.

Before you switched to Norton, Malwarebytes found some items Kaspersky missed and when installed Norton found more items.

It just reinforces the fact that no anti-virus is 100%.

Did you pursue this any further?

Here is where all the infections were found:

1. documents and settings/cody williams/appdata/local/temp\jar_cache5390507557026593874.tmp/MessageManager.class
2. documents and settings\cody williams\appdata\local\temp\jar_cache8302119197927724196.tmp/aa549daeeb4.class
3. documents and settings\cody williams\appdata\local\temp\jar_cache5390507557026593874.tmp/WWWManager.class

The other 2 that were found were also in the same place.

Wishmaster is correct. The findings were in the Java cache.

You need to do two things. First, make sure that you have only the latest release of Java installed on your computer. In Add/Remove programs, uninstall any Java programs with J2SE or Java Runtime Environment in the name that are not Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 21.

You can obtain the most recent install at this download link: Java SE Runtime Environment 6u21

Note: UNCHECK any pre-checked toolbar and/or software options presented with the update. They are not part of the software update and are completely optional.

Next, I suggest you clear temp files. Download TFC by Old Timer from here (direct download): http://www.itxassociates.com/OT-Tools/TFC.exe

• First, save any files as TFC will close ALL open programs including your browser!
• Double-click on TFC.exe to run it. If you are using Vista/Windows 7 right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator.
• Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process and let it run uninterrupted to completion.
• Important! If TFC prompts you to reboot, please do so immediately. If not prompted, manually reboot the machine anyway to ensure a complete clean.

TFC (Temp File Cleaner) will clear out all temp folders for all user accounts (temp, IE temp, java, FF, Opera, Chrome, Safari), including Administrator, All Users, LocalService, NetworkService, and any other accounts in the user folder. It also cleans out the %systemroot%\temp folder and checks for .tmp files in the %systemdrive% root folder, %systemroot%, and the system32 folder (both 32bit and 64bit on 64bit OSs). It shows the amount removed for each location found (in bytes) and the total removed (in MB).

TFC requires a reboot immediately after running. Be sure to save any unsaved work before running TFC.

I didn't pursue anything further after that. I just stuck with Norton because it seemed to find some hidden viruses. I still have it and am still using it and don't seem to be running into anymore problems. I am running Malwarebytes on a daily basis and noting is being found so that's good. I play some games on my PC but not a whole lot and I do a lot of emailing and browsing and don't hear too much out of Norton but I know that it's protecting me and it's ON. I don't get alert messages about programs launching or asking permission through the firewall like I did with Kaspersky.

I did hear that the Norton products from 2008 and earlier had a detection that varied. I am still using the 2010 version and I have also seen great reviews on it.
