This began after I ran a Norton Security System checkup.

If this is an internal drive, try these few things. first, make sure there is not a bootable disk in the drive, next, make sure that your drives jumpers are set at the right orientation ( master, slave) then check the bios by pressing F2 or Del on startup, check and see if your bios are reading the drive correctly. Check all cable connections and reseat them. Maybe try uninstalling Norton and reinstalling and see if that is the problem. You can also update the drivers and if worst comes to worst get a new drive. you can get them direct at newegg.com for around $25

I would suggest, from safe mode, you run a reallly good anti virus and also an anti spyware program.  You may have been infected with something.

Unfortunately, a lot of virus/malwares have codes imbedded that will make it appear you have NOT been infected.  They also disable a lot of Window's, and other anti-virus programs, security features.  So, that message does not necessarily mean you are still ok.   You probably need to reformat your hard drive, which means you will lose all information on it, but will MOST LIKELY get rid of the virus/worm/whatever.  \n\nAlways keep an UPDATED anti-virus program on your pc!!  I actually use 2, AVG (free) and Norton's Anti-virus.  I'll be getting a different one besides Norton's soon...I'm not that happy with them lately....I was infected twice and AVG caught it while Norton's didn't.\n\nGood luck to you!

First use the antivirus and antispyware software you have to run a full system scan. Do it in the windows safe mode. (AVG and avast antivirus softwares are free while a 6 month free trial for Norton is available at pack.google.com. Lavasoft's free Ad-Aware is the best antispyware to my knowledge. Also Windows Defender from Microsoft is good enough for real-time protection). This should identify the problem and most probably would solve it as well. However, if the antivirus software is unable to delete the malware, go to Norton's website and search for the name of the malware detected. Their must be some instructions posted to tackle the problem. You might have to delete the system restore points and as well delete the particular registry entries manually if the virus still regenerates on subsequent boot up of the machine. Good Luck.\n\nPS. If you are still having trouble, use Hijack This and copy the log it generates and post it on some tech help forum. I am sure there will be plenty of people ready to help you out.

If you read the reviews on Amazon you will find you arent alone. I dont know how Symantec has managed to keep selling Norton antivirus year after year when they get the same incredibly poor ratings. \n\nGo to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, and see if the Security Center service is started. If not, right click and start it. I recommend you ditch Norton and get something else. I gave up after trying to upgrade 2 machines from the 2003 version to 2004. The lesser known products actually work much better.

try this\nin you system tray double click on the norton av icon this should open up.\nin here you should be able to stop the auto protect and any other part you need to stop.\n\nif you forget to switch back on dont worry because it will restart the service when you reboot the system.

Curious... Are you doing anything in particular when this occurs?  How often does the folder appear?  Once there, can you delete it without receiving an error?  When did this start happening?  Any new software downloads or installations around the time this started happening?\n\nIf you're concerned about a virus threat that Norton has possibly not detected, try running a different scan like Housecall by Trent Micro.  \n\nhttp://housecall.trendmicro.com/\n\nIt's free and will let you know if something is there.  At least you'll have a second opinion on whether or not your system is infected or if there is something else going on. \n\nPost back with updates and let us know... :)

Norton does not work.\n\nUse these instead:\n\nComodo Antivirus\nComodo Firewall\nZone Alarm Firewall Anti-Virus / Anti-Trojan\nAVG Antivirus\nXoftSpy\nCounterSpy\nAdAware\n\nUsing this mix, you should be able to find and remove most of what is on your machine.

There are several good things you can do that can really solve the problem,\n1)Try downloading a little easy and free program Spybot Search & Destroy, http://www.security-related.com/download2.htm , just click on the image to download, install and run the program, it s amazing cleaner and protective.\n2)if you have Windows XP, you may try to re start the computer in safe mode then run regedit and then search for the file and delete it.\n3)if you still having problems you may try formating the partition of the hard drive where the file is situated and then re instal windows.\nI advice you to get Norton Anti virus and to take care what websites u enter and not to download any program from internet, check your firewall if u have and your internet security and privacy settings to be set in safe ways.\nhope this will help u, good luck

I think it is a drastic step................if norton doesn't work..........then reinstalling  windows will do the job................this is because when you re-install an operating system...........your hard disk gets formatted..........gettin rid of all data including viruses. But make sure tat you dont have a comp with dual operating system...........the virus may reside in the partion of the hard disk of your secondary OS which wont be formatted during the installation.
