Endpoint Protection. Expand all Collapse all sort by most recent sort by thread. AntiVirus Security Risk. Hello, We are experiencing a large amount of detections this morning for AntiVirus Securit We've been seeing this too. At this point, we're not sure whether we have a real problem, or just This is Spyware.

The exact same issue, same file, and same date on the file.. So far, about 60 of our client Hi, I suggest you to open the risk log, get the exact virus name and search it in the Symantec Can you manually update 1 client and try to run a scan again? This is not Spyware. Most all computers on our network have the file ssinstdll. We are seeing this same problem with the file SSInstDll. I think that if the definitions are corrupted the ssinstdll.

The workstations that a To be honest I think it is a true risk, this file is not related to any well known application and I have scan That is probably a very new threat if google doesn't have any info for the dll.

I don't see a rea But according to Symantec Endpoi Yes I can confirm the file bei In our case, it appears that the SSInstDll. We did use Spysweeper on our network but it has been removed several months ago but I did find on Well I can tell I have had them on ever Search the file on the ThreatExpert website. We uninstalled the prod I do not believe this is comet cursor.

The comet cursor file is SSSInstdll. This file is SSIn Use a hex editor or open it in a strong text editor not notepad and you'll see if it's a legit fi Well I can tell I have had them on every workst I opened a case with Symantec through web support about this issue yesterday morning.

The following is a report of our findings To ViR Good job. Has anyone else seen their Start menu shortcuts disappear?

Specifically Outlook. This started hap Is it located on all users Start Menu? No sir, haven't encountered this file. Thanks Paul Mapacpac. I've been re-pinning it to the users profile. I was just wondering if it's We had Spysweeper on In my opinion, your friend may have been scanning with a rogue antivirus.

Check if Antivirus is installed, because this is a fake. If so, I'm afraid he's been scammed out of 30 dollars. Does he have the full version? If so, the best option would be to run the Norton Removal Tool, in case the antrvirus has been corrupted by viruses, and then re-install and scan immediately. Let it fix all the virus risks it finds. I have also found that Spyware Doctor is very useful in getting rid of all the nasty stuff out there, and it comes free with google pack.

Thanks again for the help,i don't think he is aware of the scams out there. Should you want to uninstall, Norton includes an uninstall option. In the past, Norton left a mess. Now, after rebooting our machine, what is left behind is licensing information.

Interface Speaking of a mess, we didn't like last year's Halloween colors on the user interface. This year's redesign is much cleaner and more sophisticated, one befitting a major security product, and the colors used on the Interface can be changed if you want. Also gone are the tabs reminding you that you can purchase other Norton products. Specific tools can be turned on and off easily without diving into the configuration settings.

The configuration settings page itself is always one click below the main page. The interface also offers a pop-up dialogs to explain specific terms, although thorough explanations of the choice users have in changing the settings is still lacking. In the lower left-hand panel are two bar graphs representing the overall Windows resources used and one for the specific resources used by the Norton product. Compared with the resources used reported within the Task Manager in Windows, we noticed a slight sync problem between what Windows reported and what Norton reported for the overall system.

Symantec confirmed that while Norton AntiVirus is looking at the Windows Task Manager, it is doing so at different intervals. We like the transparency, and think the presentation here is better than the line graphs used in some other security applications.

Should you want line graphs, an icon will reveal how the system and Norton CPU usage has been since the system was last rebooted. Features Norton has, in the past, included some sophisticated technology from its enterprise products, which is good because it's cutting-edge, but it's also bad, because it doesn't necessarily integrate with the product, nor is it necessary.

In Norton AntiVirus , they seem to have found the right balance. Whitelisting, the buzzword of security products for , is included, and by marrying it with other technologies, Symantec makes it more suited for the user.

Files on a whitelist are deemed trusted, and thus do not need to be scanned as often. Not all "safe files" make it onto the whitelist. For those, Norton uses a community process, called Insight, similar to that used by other security products such as Haute Secure. This can all be fixed from the comfort of our well worn chair. First, to fix the password issue, we can start up regedit and from the file menu connect via the network to the remote machines registry.

Then navigate to the following key. That takes care of the password asking problem. Finally the last thing we need to do is remotely execute the msiexec program. This is done by a great set of tools that were originally done by Sysinternals which have since been bought out by Microsoft.
