I have received some reports that when both Norton Antivirus and Neo/J 1.1 RC plus Patch-3 are running, Norton Antivirus will detect the Underground trojan.
Has anyone had this same problem? If so, did it start only after installing "Patch-3" or did it start after installing or updating Norton Antivirus?
I checked my build machine and it doesn't appear to be infected with the Underground trojan, so it may be that Norton Antivirus is giving a false positive. In any case, if you are getting such Norton warnings, please post here so that I can figure out what is going on.
Several MacFixIt readers have reported receiving an alert from Norton Anti-Virus of a trojan called "hacktool.underhand."
MacFixIt reader Chris Rosa, for instance, writes:
"One of my users reported that NAV alerted her to a trojan called hacktool.underhand that had infected a swapfile. Curiously enough, Norton Anti-Virus
It now appears that this alert is a false positive, and poses no real threat to Mac OS X system integrity.
Symantec has released an updated virus definition set -- available through LiveUpdate -- to address the false positive. _________________ PBG4, 1.5GHz, SuperDrive, 1GB RAM, 128MB VRAM, 5400rpm 80GB HD, MacOS X 10.4.5
