Hello,
I have a computer that has been recently been infected with Adware.Purityscan. Symantec Antivirus picks it up but does not seem to fix the issue. Everytime I delete the file and restart it comes back. It seems to have a different file infected each time the computer is rebooted. The computer seems to run fine it's just Symantec keeps picking this up and it is getting rather annoying for the end user. Here is a sample of what Symantec is telling me:
Scan type: Auto-Protect Scan
Event: Risk Found!
Security risk detected: Adware.Purityscan
File: C:\Program Files\Common Files\a?sembly\lsass.exe
Location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\a?sembly
Computer: MAINTENANCE2
User: SYSTEM
Action taken: Pending Side Effects Analysis : Access allowed
Date found: Thursday, February 28, 2008 4:04:07 PM
This comes up everytime the computer is restarted. The only thing that may change is the file that is infected and it's location.
Here is my Highjackthis log:

I would also like to add that I have ran Symantec Antivirus, Adaware 2007 and ATF cleaner and nothing has worked so far. Thank you in advance for all your help.
