InfoStealer is just as it's name sounds.
Apparently, it's a trojan with "steals" sensitive information from the compromised computer.

What is your OS? How about the brand of your AV? You use a firewall?

That was quick.
You said Norton Cooperate Edition. Is this like somewhat a workstation, like multiple computers?
Or is this a personal computer? You mentioned Cooperate Edition, so I'm assuming it's a workstation.
Is ZoneAlarm updated?

Are you still having trouble with InfoStealer? If you have the time, update with the latest definitions and run Norton with a Full Scan. If not boot and SAFE MODE and fire it up :cowboy:.

Hm, looks like you did that in a jiffy. Attach a HIJACK LOG with that. But first, await a response. You do not want to BUMP your thread.
Have you tried my directions yet?
Hello,
As a topic was started in the malware removal forum, the conversation will continue there.
