Hello,
(Forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place. I'll be happy to re-post to correct forum once I know which.)
Yesterday, my Norton AV did a live update and downloaded new AV definitions. Immediately afterwards, it scanned and found blindman.exe within the Spybot program files, and it's calling it a Trojan Horse. NAV was not able to remove blindman.exe, so it quarantined it, instead.
From reading about blindman.exe, I see that normally it is a benign program that does nothing. I'm worried that now it's not so benign, and so am leery of attempting to run Spybot.
Has anyone else seen this? Is Norton over-reacting, or do I really have a quarantined Trojan Horse on my system that I should try to eliminate?
Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.
-Mary
