Norton System works and Internet security, folks beware!?
Question by GB123: Norton System works and Internet security, folks beware!?
Thought you like to know
I have recently bought the above software, Started downloading updates and by accident found supremtec`s beyond keylogger in there software license`s, A keylogger, for those who do not know, records all your keystrokes that you type in, ie: bank details etc
I sent a strongly worded email to Norton about this, to ask if they use this product and they will not answer me. If this is true, they are basicly spying on you. I formatted my hard drive, 3 times and put Windows and Norton on only, each time, It kept appearing, I did`nt realise it was Norton at this stage. Then went and bought Zone Alarm Security suite, Low level formatted again and then put Windows and Zone Alarm on instead, the keylogger was gone. I then loaded all other software on, and checked each one before loading, no logger.
YOUR ANTI SPY WARE AND VIRUS PRODUCTS WILL NOT PICK THIS UP.
The irony is, a freebee norton spyware scan product that sits on most Browsers detected it. The big guns didnt
I am using BTinternet with yahoo…..and I found the Norton spyware scan free bee, by clicking Mail, from the toolbar, then, next to the mail icon is BTyahoo, click the little arrow to pull down a menu, choose My Services, then choose BTyahoo download centre, and it will be in there….I have also seen it on Internet explorer, when I upgraded my explorer to V7. But I have just looked and the icon is Empty, maybe it`s empty cause I`ve already downloaded it from BT, I don`t know.
I have spybot, spy sweeper, spyware doctor and Zone Alarm, they did not detect it at all…………It was only detected by this freebee,
I hope you find this useful, and that you don`t find that you`ve got the keylogger,
cause it`s a BUGGER to remove
And I might add, Norton system works or Internet Security will NOT detect it either.

Intrusive pop ups and take overs.?
Question by Driac: Intrusive pop ups and take overs.?
Starting about a month ago, when I click on a regular site I use, periodically and growing more frequent, I don’t get where I want to go because a pop up appears with http://systemdoctor.com on the header exhorting me to register with them to put my computer right.
No matter what I click on, cancel, or the cross in the corner, it then takes me to the site and this goes on until the only way I can get out from it is to log of the browser.
Norton isn’t picking it up. My anti spy ware isn’t picking it up.
How do I get rid of it?

Help urgently required with IE7?
Question by Prodigal Son: Help urgently required with IE7?
Hi,
I’ve been having trouble all day with my Internet service, this morning it was not working at all I’ve not run Virus Scans, Spy ware scans, System restore and have now even changed my browser to Mozilla Fire fox and yet I’m still having trouble, it seems only with Microsoft sites I can’t access them at all but can access every other site this is really strange and I’m at the end of my tether any help you can give is really appreciated.
Thank you
I’ve run everything and just can’t seem to figure out why I can’t get access to the Microsoft site so I can install updates, keeps saying “page cannot be displayed” every other site works fine
Hi, I just tried it in safe mode and it’s still not working this is SO ANNOYING!!

Answer by DimBlonde
Try it in safe mode. That should enable you to download the latest updates and that may solve your problem. Worked for me. Could not get onto Microsoft sites, but could in safe mode.
PS, I’m not a geek or a computer whizz, just had a similar problem and that’s how I sorted it. if you haven’t tried it yet, them I’m sure some smarter techies then me will answer this question, good luck
PPS, if it is something on your computer causing this then it won’t be a virus, it will be some sort of spyware, trojan sort of thing, that is stopping you getting updates because updates may affect it or remove it. You do need something like spyward doctor, spybot etc. Anyway, if this is the problem then safe mode will allow you to access mircosoft update. Then you can sort the cause of problem afterwards if updating doens’t complete the job.
CURRAN below is a total fool. I don’t know anything about this stuff, but I can tell you that when you enter safe mode, you choose to enter with or without networking. If you select with networking, then you can go online. This is not HYPING as the d.ck head said, it is something that I did about 40 times whilst trying to sort my problem. Therefore it is possible, cause I did it, and can do it right now if I want to.
