    Re: Norton detecting Vista Loader?

    To make sure nothing remains on your computer do the following:

    1 - Download and run ccleaner.

    2-Using the first option of "cleaner" to delete cookies and temporary Internet.

    3-After you use your option to "register" to clean up the Windows registry (with backup).

    4-Perform a complete analysis with Kaspersky Online Scanner.

    The 'worm' located at C:\windows\system32\oobe\oem_uninst.exe is useless. It's only function is to uninstall oem logos. This is done automatically. I don't know why it is flagged as a worm though. You not need to worry about this. Simply you can allow Norton to delete it. And first do the update of Norton.
