How do you know that Defender is correct and not displaying a false positive? A link for free online virus and trojan scanners. http://virusall.com/downscan.html SignatureMike Pawlak You could most probably scan with lots of spyware scanners and get different results, they don't all have the same definition files, so you will find that some find what other's don't and vice versa.

Signaturezepphead No matter how many times you scan , if it is false positive , it will appear again and again because it is in the definitions .

All I can say is, I rid my system of all Norton products 2 years ago and my computer is much happier for it! http://www.nod32.com/download/trial.htm Even through this Malware scanner is fairly new it does already have a good reputation, you might want to give it a try for free (at least for a short time). http://www.ewido.net/en/ SignatureMike Pawlak Upload the file to Norton and contact them for a follow up. Also run two or three online scanners to and compare the results. Update Norton by downloading the newest definitions yourself not via Live Update.
