Guys (spoken in the androgenous sense)
I may have a virus. First lets get this out of the way. It is not my computer but…
Windows XP fully updated (minus SP2)
Norton Anti-virus (updated)
Spybot Search and Destroy (updated)
Ad-aware (updated)
Hijack This (most current)
All of these were run (minus NAV which continues to fail).
Here is the issue. If the computer is left sitting it will stay powered on and not shutdown or suspend etc. But if Norton is run it shutsdown. Even more annoying is immediatedly after this it will only start XP then shut back down regardless. If it is left alone for five minutes it will boot up normally.
I have checked the norton site and have found some viruses that immediately shutdown windows but none that seem to be “set off” by Norton. Any clues?
