Re: Activex and norton antivirus - Alwayup trojan

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Thanks for your help. NAV was up-to-date when this problem occurred. I went
to the Symantec link for Alwayup Trojan and ran a full system scan in normal
use mode and also did another scan in safe mode. Both times, NAV did not
detect any infected files. I also manually found the temp folder and
temporary internet files folder and scanned the contents using NAV and no
infected files were detected. I will now clean up the temp files using Disk
Cleanup in Safe Mode.
