Hello :)

Navigate to the C:\WINDOWS\system32\symnppwa.dll
rigth click the file.

What does it say on the Description, Copyright and version ?

:bigthumb:
 
SYMNPPWA.dll info

Copyright (c) 2007 Symantec Corporation.All
File Version: 2007.1.7.8
Description: SymNcoWA
Product Name: Norton Confidential
 
Question about esafe and Fortinet

My Virustotal scan of "choice.exe" found the following entries:

eSafe 7.0.15.0 04.08.2007 suspicious Trojan/Worm

Fortinet 2.85.0.0 04.08.2007 suspicious

Are these anything to worry about?
 
Hello :)

Are you using this Norton Confidential software?

The choice.exe, have you used the software named IE-Spyad lately?

:bigthumb:
 
Hello

I have recently purchased and installed Norton 360. I beleive that Norton Confidential might be part of the bundle or expansion pack which includes anti Spam as well.

As far as IE-Spyad is concerned, I don't beleive that I have used it and I'm not to sure what it is.
 
Ok good, that is Norton related then.

I've been doing some research about the choice.exe and it seems to have something to do with a setting the language or country. Migth be part of some game etc. I recommend that we leave it. If you want you can rename the file to eg. choice.bad and see if everything works correctly. Then you may restore the original name if something gives error.

How is the computer running now? any issues?

:bigthumb:
 
Everything seems ok for now.

I just ran a Spybot scan and everything seems ok. I guess that I should proceed with the previously posted cleaning/purging instructions posted. What about my previous question regarding:

"My Virustotal scan of "choice.exe" found the following entries:

eSafe 7.0.15.0 04.08.2007 suspicious Trojan/Worm

Fortinet 2.85.0.0 04.08.2007 suspicious"
 
Hello :)

It was that choice.exe that I was referring. I recommend that we leave it. If you want you can rename the file to eg. choice.bak and see if everything works correctly. Then you may restore the original name if something gives an error.

Renaming choice.exe

Hello,

I appologize for asking this stupid question.
If I were to rename choice.exe, would I do it like this "C:\Windows\Choice.bak" ? or would I rename the particular questionable entries eSafe and Fortinet only.
 
Hello :)

Yes, I meant that you may just manually rename the choice.exe to choice.bak
