Hi, newbie here. My anti virus software Symantic detected a trojan or something when I went on to a site. It said it could not clean or quarentine the file. So I used Kaspersky online scan and it detected cmdow.exe as a possible virus but it does not clean either. Is it possible that cmdow.exe is the trojan that Symantic detected? Could it harm my PC?
I have used spybot, ad-aware, ccleaner, cwshredder, ewido anti malaware, mcafee and none of them have detected anything. None of them come up with cmdow.exe as a problem.
All help appreciated
Thanks.
