Norton a.v., there's your problem.

Just remove it, never catches anything anyway.

Re: r.exe

It's part of the automatic update mechanism for the client - sometimes antivirus programs have a false positive hit on it due to the self updating nature. Virustotal.com is a good indicator if something is a virus or not, if there are any hits on there please let us know so we can contact the antivirus vendors as we have done in the past.

Re: r.exe

I heard rumors that r.exe uploads all porns from your hdd directly to AC office to keep the devs awake.

Re: r.exe

Yeah, got it too. Just added it to my trusted files.
Norton just thinks it is suspicious as it is new and doing supposedly 'risky' actions.

Re: r.exe

Get rid of Norton, there is all kinds of free stuff out there that will protect you better.


Unless you know how to manage Norton properly, its a resource hog.

Get, malwarebytes, avg free, spybot search & destroy... this is if you just looking for basic protection.

AVG is just bloat these days.  Get Microsoft Security Essentials instead.  I also use the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-malware (ridiculous name).

Norton is worthless. Even if you got it free its not worth installing.

Re: r.exe

Shinnai: a search for SpyHunter brings up very suspicious links of it being malware itself, I wouldn't trust it. I removed your link just to be sure.
