Re: Strange Anti virus has installed on my PC without my knowledge! *problems!*

OK, first...we need to ensure all parts of the previous antivirus installs are gone. Looks like there was also a previous Norton.

Uninstall the following via the Add/Remove Panel (Start->(Settings)->Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs) if they exist:

LiveUpdate 3.0 (Symantec Corporation)
LiveUpdate Notice (Symantec Corporation)


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please use the instructions on this page to completely uninstall your Norton Products.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Download and execute the AVG Remover

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Run DDS once again, and post both it's logs.
