Party,

If you are still suffering and nothing is picking up the problem, it sounds like you might have a backdoor trojan or a 'rootkit' problem hiding a Trojan or aaaa on your PC. These are the nasty of the narsties and can avoid anything you throw at it, especialy Nortons!


Below is a quick descriptiuon and until you get the problem sorted You might want to avoid useing your PC for any financial transactions!


"Presumably the rootkit nasties description using is used to hide the trojans which can be used by the attacker to take total control of a machine while the keyloggers transmit information back to the attackers including passwords and data from the infected machine. An ugly situation at best. In cases like this I think the safest thing for a user to do is format and reinstall because there is no way to tell how severly the machine has been compromised and what dangers may lurk inside, even if the trojans and rootkit files are removed, if they can even be removed.

Here's an example where format and reinstall was advised on a severely compromised network computer":
