  • 1.  Symantec antivirus get blocked during scanning

    Posted Jun 21, 2010 01:00 PM
    Hello I have a problem with my Symantec Antivirus it gets blocked when I try to scan partition C or other one's.
    For example I click C:/ > Scan for viruses and then I stay betwen 3-4 seconds and it dose not do anything and I recive the "Dont send error".

    My version is up to date: 10.0.0.359

    It is from a virus or something? If yes please show me how to resolve this.

    do a repair of symantec antivirus from add/remove programs and then try running a scan; check if that works
    check if rtvscan.exe service is running in the taskmanager

    What OS are you trying to run this version on? This is an older version of SAV that will not run on Vista and later OS.

    I assume you meant Windows XP. Try running the program in Safe-mode, if that works then update definitions and run a full scan in safe-mode. If a threat is detected and cleaned then try running again in normal desktop.

    As a last resort you might want to run the Norton Power Eraser tool.
    Because the Norton Power Eraser uses aggressive methods to detect these threats, there is a risk that it can select some legitimate programs for removal. You should use this tool very carefully, and only after you have exhausted other options.

    The scan in safe-mode found a Trojan.Packed.Ns.Anti in C:/WINDOWS may this be the problem?

    It sayd Action: Unknow action, I selected to Delete it permanently.

    Edit: I read in the symantec database and it says the virus do errors to antiviruses software

    The SAV version you are using is very old and had few vulnerabilities that were easily exploited. So it won't be enough to protect you against such complex virus/threats

    Install 10.1.9.9000 or SEP 11.0.6070.xx

    Ok I have discovered that my computer is infected with a virus that dont let me scan my folder with left click. I dont know the name of the virus cause the antivirus dose not detect it. When I enter My Computer and I click on partition C:/ for example it opens in a new window and I have read that there is a vrius that makes this happen (something with autorun.inf). Any ideeas what should I use to get rid of the virus?

    Edit: The antivirus works as it should, I have scanned the PC from the client it self and worked, but with left click on a folder and "Scan for viruses" it gets blocked by that virus
