No idea off the top of my head. A quick google search does'nt reveal anything either.<br />
The only thing I can suggest is to run another independent scan to see if another scan picks up traces of SecurityRisk.ProxyDns and if Norton is hanging on it because it finds it.<br />
<br />
One of the best virus scanners is ESET's. They have a free online scan which I have used many many times and think that it is one of the best - only thing is that it does'nt clean viruses.<br />

Another option is running the portable version of Clamwin.<br />

Run those see if they pick anything up and then &nbsp;see if Norton works after that.

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
