Hello. I need to know how to be sure my PC is clear of viruses. I have recently had attemps to hack into my bank account and infomation stolen to hack into my epassporte account. After this happened i scanned with norton and adaware and removed a couple things that adaware called "malware" but norton found nothing. Then it happened again and while scanning with adaware norton started finding all these infected .tmp files in my winnt/temp folder. The files were pka1.tmp pkdd.tmp pk303.tmp pk311.tmp pk32a.tmp norton called them hacktool spammer and infostealer. how can i be sure these are the only infected files and that there isn't some exe somewhere? Are there any better tools than norton to use to scan? I really need to fix this as i don't feel safe using this PC at all.
