roxio NDetect.exe error

Ndetect NDetect.exe

(Symantec) Symantec NetDetect. NDETECT is part of Norton’s LiveUpdate. It checks whether you have an Internet connection and whether it can communicate with the Symantec website. If it can, it then switches over to LiveUpdate which itself checks for updates to your Norton AntiVirus, PCAnywhere, Internet Security, or Personal Firewall software.

Recommendation :
If you see NDETECT in your Task List, it is only because you brought up the Task List at the exact moment that NDETECT was checking for an Internet connection. NDETECT only stays in the Task List very briefly. Also, NDETECT will only run if you have configured LiveUpdate to update your PC automatically, as it is run through Scheduled Tasks.

Well, interesting. NDetect is also a file that ICQ uses to detect your connection to the net and launch various programs (mainly the ICQ chat client).
Perhaps you should go into the registry and check out what you have starting, if you recently uninstalled or changed ICQ (or Norton AntiVirus for that matter) then that might be your problem.
On the other hand it also sounds like it could be some sort of malicious virus chomping through your files. No clue. If you need, symantec provides a freeonline scanning utility at

click yes when the dialog box box pops up and it should automatically start scanning your files. Warning: It's kind of slow, and dont go to any other pages without opening another browser window after the scan has started, it will interupt the scan and make you angry. :P
