When I check my e-mail (Outlook Express) I'm always getting an error message
from my Norton Anti Virus (SystemWorks 2004 version). It keeps popping up and I want it to STOP popping up. The file that Norton keeps seeing as a "Malicious Script" seems to be file from the Charter Pipeline (Charter is my broadband/cable service) folder on my computer. Here's the message I'm always getting: Norton AntiVirus Malicious Script Detected - High Risk - Your computer is halted and needs to do something about this script. Object: Windows Script Host Shell Object Activity: Run File: c:\Program Files\Support.com\Charter\vbs\tsoe-confirmprotect.vbs I choose "Stop this script (recommended)" and click "OK" every time to get rid of the pop-up window. Everything's fine - I still get my e-mail, there doesn't seem to be a problem with that, but the error message pops up EVERY time I check my e-mail. Why does this error keep popping up - and how can I get it to stop popping up? My Norton SystemWorks is up-to-date and I just ran a complete scan - I have no viruses on my computer. Also - this folder from Charter is about 30MB in size, I'm not really sure why I have it or what's in it. It was put on my computer when my cable internet was set up. If anyone has ANY help/advice as to how I can get rid of this pop-up error message - please let me know. |

They will analyse the file and if it's a false positive (seems likely here) they'll fix their scanner so as to not detect file. If it really is "malicious" they'll report that to you too and explain what to do from there... -- Nick FitzGerald |
