How to block Babylon, 7Pic and Sweetimm
I am having a real struggle in stopping Babylon, 7Picuploader and some other crap called Trust (sweetimm) ending up on my XP based desktop. Sweetimm is interesting, it blows kisses at me! I have the latest version of Norton Interenet Security and am a little pissed off that it does not pick up these intrusions. Previous versions of the software allowed me to block this junk manually but this latest version doesn't. I can disable the Norton Firewall and use the Microsoft one which will work but it is not exactly a good solution. I have removed all files manually from my PC that relate to these programms, including all the hidden files but this rubbish still gets back and installs. There must be a way that Norton IS can be configured to stop these intrusions?399Views0likes1CommentMy product is wrongfully labeled as a threat by Norton.
Hi, My product is wrongfully labeled as a threat by Norton and a .dll file is deleted by Norton and thus the product does not function correct. It is the 'File Insight service that warns about this. See image below. I would like to know how my company can become 'whitelisted' or any other way for us to avoid this scenario?

I came across a browser called Maxthon sometime back. I use it for occasional browsing but I am still not confident in using it against my corporate webmail or banking websites because the servers that Maxthon uses are in China. Also the browser seems to be making a webservice call to the server on startup and periodically for general security updates. I would like to know if Symantec has a review about this tool and/or a Symantec expert could review the tool to see what information it actually passes from the desktop client to the server at intervals. The files of Maxthon themselves are clean and do not contain any infections of any type.824Views0likes5CommentsWHATSNEW.TXT Top-ten List

Hi, my antivirus is a Symantec Antivirus, corporate edition if i am not wrong. It came together pre-installed with the laptop that i bought from my school. Yesterday, i recieved an email with attachments from a friend of mine. I opened the attachments, not expecting that this was a spam auto send email from my friend's account. it contained a virus(or so i think). I opened up my antivirus and checked the risk history, and there were 4 files, 3 cleaned and 1 deleted. I went to the directory where the files are located and tried a manual delete. But this was not possible, i click properties to uncheck the "Read-Only" box, but the 3 files still could not be deleted. Appearantly the entire folder with the 3 files all have a permanent checked "Read-only" which prevents deletion. Attached are screen shots of the folder and the files. Please adviseSolved926Views0likes4Comments
