I got a dialer on here the other day. Norton detected it after it was already on my computer. It is called Dialer.OneOnOne. I went to Symantec's site and printed out the instructions for deleting the file. It says to go into safe mode to delete all files with that name, but even in safe mode, it will not delete. I cannot find a forum at symantec to ask WHY I can't delete this stupid dialer. The only support option I can find it is to call them and pay $29.95 for help. I just paid $40 for this Norton 2004 and cannot get tech assistance? This makes me mad. I hope someone here can help tell me how to delete this file. Anyone had this problem? Please any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to wind up with a $1000 phone bill.

Go and download both Spybot Search and Destory and Ad-Aware. Once that is done, update both of them and run a scan. NAV 2004 will detect some spyware/dialers, etc but does a poor job of cleaning them. Spybot or Ad-Aware should be able to take care of the problem.

Also, Symantec has been charging for their support for a long time. You pay 40bucks for the software but that is it. Symantec would go broke if they offered free virus removal support.

How did Norton report the file, in use or protectected? If it is in use can you see it running in the task manager, and can you terminate it while you are in the safe mode? If it is protected did you turn off system restore and then restart the computer and the use Norton to detect/clean/reapair the file. After the system is clean you can turn system restore back on.

You use the ctrl/alt/delete keys at the same time to open it. Spybot and Adaware needs to be updated right agter you install them. Sometimes you have to select a different download mirror(I use EON Australia) it is the selection right next to check fot updates button at the top of the screen. To run Spybot select check for problems and it will scan just like Adaware, with sometimes a few hang ups to do large files that are being scanned, be patient! I select fix everything that Adaware/Spubot finds, but be a little cautious. Both programs keep things in th erecovery folder should you have a program that requires spyware.

hi decogsof4,
did you remove all the entries in your registry and reboot, and in your windows directory?
such as:

HKLM\..\Run: [1on1]
C:\WINDOWS\1on1.exe -n
C:\Program Files\Voyager100Test\fts.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\Run and look in the righthand pane for the below value
"Image"="rundll32:\\WINDOWS\\image.dll,Install"

if no joy, after all of this why don't you post your hijackthis log here so we can take a look at what you got hanging around your machine. lots of good people here to help you.
all the best,
murve

Okay, I went online and used housecall's free virus scanner, after Ad Aware didn't find anything. It found 4 infected files and called them java something or other. I clicked on them to let it clean them and it said they could not be cleaned, as they were in use. I believe that must be why Norton wouldn't delete it. I looked at the path to the files and it all went to Java Cache files. The 1on1 dialer Norton found was in Java cache, too. I went into my java console and cleared the cache. I did another system scan and it is not picking up anything now. I have not gone into the registry, as I don't think the file ever executed itself and I am not computer literate enough to try going into XP's registry right now. I did print out the instructions and it sounds like I could mess up big time by doing that. I hope this dialer is gone now.
