My computer has been getting the Blue Screen of Death on ocassion (say maybe once every 2 weeks)so since Norton AV and AVG scans say everthings OK I decided to do an online Panda scan. Before I did this I had uninstalled Norton (instead of having both Norton and AVG installed on the same machine-tyring to free up resources) and decided to give free AVG a shot at being my stand alone AV. Well Panda claims it found 3 trojans, 2 of them were Delindex.bat and one was a nprotect file. The nprotect file is a Norton file correct? But Norton was already uninsatlled a couple of days before I ran the Panda AV scan. Might a Trojan been hiding in a nprotect file? As for the Delindex.bat Panda got rid of it and didnt bother to quarantine or ask me what to do. From what I've read on the net Delindex isnt a Trojan and some AV's mistake it for a Trojan like MaAfee, etc. Has anybody heard of this? Is it better to not have Delindex on your system? What about Panda is it a good online scan? Any recomendations would be appreciated.

Delindex is a safe program, some AVs pick it up that way, just a bug. I don't know about nprotect. Panda is the best online scanner - I use AVG - no problems

Yes, nprotect is a norton file, but I don't think anything would take over a nprotect file. According to Pestpatrol(http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestInfo/n/nprotect.asp), nprotect is adware. Norton would never put adware into the AV, so my best guess is "nprotect" is called that name to fool people into thinking it has something to do with norton. It's pretty recent too. Febuary 2004.
