Veritor Posted August 15, 2012 I have a fully updated Windows 7 system I use---and scan---all the time. Was using FREE and had just done a scan which came up with nothing. Decided to upgrade to PRO since I do like your product. Did so and then ran a scan and obtained these "Trace.Known Threat Sources." I have friends have seen this and they just clean them up and move on. I can't find much info on these on your site or the web. Is this a specific known risk? The irony is in this case the previous FREE scan was 2 days earlier and I hadn't visited any questional sources in that time. The earlier scans in the LOG have never shown this kind of detection going back for weeks. I never go to a link that hasn't been cleared by Norton. SaS says it cleaned these fine but should I be more concerned?

SAS Customer Service Posted August 15, 2012 That detection means you visited a website determined to be "bad" and those items in the IE cache are from that website. This could be simply going to a website that offers a program considered to be adware. You don't need to do anything except remove those items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veritor Posted August 15, 2012 So, not to sound too much like a noob, but these indications do not mean directly that visiting such a site installed serious malware, such as a keylogger or a Trojan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SAS Customer Service Posted August 15, 2012 No, just that the low-risk items listed were put into the IE cache. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
