Symantec Antivirus is the same thing as Norton Anti-virus, a symantec product. The thing about most malware is that it's not obvious. Just because symantec isnt' finding something doesn't mean there's nothing. There's a good likelyhood that you have spyware recording activities, keyloggers recording what you type, Adware controlling the advertising you recieve on websites, or any type of spyware-based application generally using up system resources and slowing your performance. Believe me, Just go to www.ewido.net and at least grab that one. Some Dialers may install themselves on your system just to use it as a server to export malware into other's systems and have the activity traced back to your system to mask their own actions. Trojan's can install themselves just to wait there, so when you go to a website with a Virus the trojan can used to disable your security or manually take control of your computer to instal whatever it wants at a later date (from that site).Quote:
