Exclamation Solved: My Norton 360 wont scan my laptop
My new Norton 360 anti-virus program doesnt seem to scan my laptop. I think its because i might have a trojan virus because i also installed the same anti-virus program on my desktop computer and it works perfectly fine there. Also, it doesnt clean my registry because of an error. Please Help!!

Hello,

Perhaps you could provide us with the error messages and ill functionality that occurs when trying to run a scan?

Well... When i try to quick scan, the norton says its scanning but it doesnt actualy scan any items. The 'Total Items Scanned' constently stays at 0. For the Registry Cleanup, it just says error. I think this might help: This was said in one of the sites, "Your computer generates an attacking DOS requests at our servers. This attack was provoked by the spyware/virus named 'Troj/Rustok-N'

It seems you may indeed be infected.
I suggest you go over to the Malware removal section, and post a Hijack This log.

Information about posting a Hijack This log can be obtained here.

I have read what you told me to and tried to download the Hijack program. But after i downloaded it and opened the program, there was a blue screen that said my computer was infected. Then i restarted the computer in Safe Mode and did it again. It said the same thing as the first time. Then when i did it the third time, it said there was a problem with the program and suggested me to tell windows about it. What should i do now??

From what I can tell you are definitely infected with something.

Since I am not authorized to provide malware removal instructions, I still recommend that you head off to the malware removal section of this forum and describe the issue you are having, along with the issue you encounter with using Hijack This

Hi jjpark987,

This is Mike from the Norton Authorized Support Team.

The issue you are having can be due to a problem with your definition files or possible infections.Please carefully follow the instructions in the following document to update your definition files and to scan in Safe Mode with Norton 360 version 3.

Resolve 0 items scanned in Norton 360 version 3

Please let me know if this process resolves the issue you are having with Norton 360 not scanning files. If you receive any error messages, let me know as well.

Thank you,
Mike

when i try to click on safe boot in system configuration, the screen seems to be frozen or something because it wont let me click on that box. The entire boot tab is frozen and i cant click anything in it. i can click on everything else though.

Hi jjpark987,

It sounds like either there is a problem with Windows itself or you may have a major infection which is contributing to your inability to boot into Safe Mode.

Please follow the instructions below to boot off of the Norton 360 CD and run the scan from there to see if any threats are detected.

1. Insert your product CD into the CD-ROM drive.

2. Exit all programs and restart your computer.

3. When you see the message, "Press any key to boot
the computer from CD or DVD", click Enter.

4. In the Norton Recovery Tool window, select your
language, and then click OK.

5. Type your Norton 2009 Product Key, and then click
I Agree to accept the License Agreement.

6. Click Start Scan.

7. After the scan is completed, remove the CD from
the CD-ROM drive and restart your computer.

If by chance you are unable to boot off of the CD, you may need to go into the BIOS and change the boot order, placing the Optical drive as the first boot option.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi jjpark98,

You will need to retrieve your Activation Key, as I had mentioned in my previous posting. Once you have it, follow the instructions in the document below to create a Norton 360 Recovery CD, which you will boot off of and then complete a scan to check for infections.

Downloading and Creating the Norton Recovery Tool for Norton 360 Version 3.0

After you complete the scan, let me know if any infections were found, and if so, the names of the infections and whether or not Norton 360 was able to remove them or quarantine them.

Thanks,
Mike
