    Hi,

    I would suggest to scan the system with Symantec power eraser to detect threat and remove them

    http://www.symantec.com/theme.jsp?themeid=spe-user-guide

    It might be your assumption only 1 file is suspicious but there can be multiple

    You should run the Symhelp tool to find out suspicious files available on the System.

    Symantec Help (SymHelp): http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH170752

    Submit all those suspicious files to the Symnatec at the following id

    https://submit.symantec.com/essential

    You would receive tracking id, you can PM me the tracking id.

    Update the system with latest windows patches & Service pack, update all third party application.

    Make sure all the SEP features are installed & having most current definitions. (Virus & Spyware /PTP/NTP)

    Always follow the best practice: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH122466

    "Thumbs up" to the good advice, above. 

    This new article may be of interest- if you see one suspicious, undetected file, there may be more.  Your SEPM can help you find them.
