Greetings...My Norton anti-virus did this pop-up which indicated I had a Trojan virus in one of my temp files, and that access was denied. I did a manual search for the file, $2E2546BB.t$m, but was not able to find it. I then performed a Norton scan on the entire temp folder, and it found nothing!!! I'm afraid that there might be some virus floating around, and I can't at present find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also have AVG Free, and it has turned up no virus. Thanks in advance for any input!!!
If it is in your temp files, why not try some real-time protection with Spyware terminator? http://www.spywareterminator.com/ I am not a Norton fan, but this time I won't say anything about that bloatware...LOL...
Avast has REAL-TIME protection and alerts as you surf, which means it will pop up with the virus as it comes along so you have a chance to abort the connection before the PC becomes infected.
Please don't PM me about a problem...Post your message in c.net Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results as it will help others.
