you should really consider updating your norton to the latest version.... that old version of yours is not cut out for some of the latest threats out there.

As you have a Maxtor hard drive, I would download and run the MaxDiag tool and make sure your hard drive is not failing.

what version of norton do you have?

Hello and First things first.... Are you running Avira and MS Security Essentials at the same time. Having more than one anti-virus software running at the same time will cause issues.....

If you have utorrent on and running you will see all these blocks..... do you have it running? Also P2P software is a very good way to get your computer infected, you should be very careful with what you download, or really you should stay away from P2P software.

Hello CyberTeacher add "data-cdn.mbamupdates.com" (without the quotes) or if you firewall allows wild cards you can use: *.mbamupdates.com

Not in all cases is it a threat, like I said it depends if your other security software has disabled these due to the security software you have is already protecting those items.

it could be up to 48 hours..... if you do not get any help by then, then send a PM to one of the administrators on this site.

those two entities are there like you said, probably cause your other security firewall has disabled them. These should be safe to ignore. If you already quarantined them, that's OK too.

I am glad it worked for you, if you have any other issues or questions don't hesitate to ask.

Great, thanks for the info, I usually delete restore points after an infection is found and cleaned. I then will create a new restore point once I know the computer is clean.

As this is a corporate customer you should send an email to corporate-support@malwarebytes.org with order number and contact info and they will take care of your issue there.

Just a thought...... I know of other forums that give rights to moderators, (maybe even experts or trusted advisers here), to at least set a post as invisible while the admins have a chance to remove and/or accept the post. Can that be feasible here?
