It turns out that the perfs.exe file in the system32 folder had already been deleted. Although the service is listed under services, I checked in safe mode and the service was stopped. I disabled it, but I'm guessing it will no longer work anyway without the missing perfs.exe file. The service is no longer even listed in my current hjt log.

More importantly, it appears that Panda or dss or some other part of the 5 step process has possibly eliminated my problem with trojan adclicker, as I have turned my system on and off 3 separate times in a 16 hour period and Norton is no longer reporting the issue in it's notification messages or it's log and my desktop does appear to be loading normally now.

DSS still crashes when it gets to "examining event log", but this could be because of some program or service running in the background I suppose...

Am I cured?
