Google- Norton Security Scan - Hacktool.HideWindow

thegulletts · May 6, 2007

First let me say that I plan to use the "READ & RUN ME FIRST" guide. However, before I spend the time, I wanted to make sure that I should actually do it. I am kinda wondering if it's a false or some kind of misread that is causing Norton Security Scan to pick it up.

I downloaded the Google Pack security programs. Norton Security Scan (google pack program) finds Hacktool.HideWindow only on a full system scan. But, when I run AVG Free, Trend Micro's Housecall or Bitdefender's free scan they do not find the Hacktool.HideWindow. I do a full system scan with each of those.

AVG is the only "Virus" Scan I have installed. As stated before I have Norton Security Scan and Spyware Doctor. Both of those last 2 were gotten from Google Pack.

Anyone got any idea's?

Thanks in advance for the help!

*EDIT* I wanted to add the text from the logfile of Norton Security Scan:

Unresolved Threats:

Virus ID: 4294906362

Welcome to Major Geeks!

It would be more helpful if you showed us the file name and location of what is being detected. That being said, I would expect you have an HP PC or other HP hardware (printer, scanner, etc) and the file being detected is related to that. Many scanners detect these and they are all false positived.
