Hello, you need to scan your computer at the boot time and then you will able to remove the virus infected files from your computer. It may possible that your virus is making use of the system files and system resources and that is why Norton Internet Security is not able to remove the virus file from your computer. So, just make use of the safe mode by pressing the F8 key at the startup.

Hi, I'm a new member and my computer have recently been infected w/ the same virus; FakeAlert-WwSec. I use mcafee which stops the virus from damaging my computer by showing me a message saying that it deleted some FakeAlert-WwSec related file almost every 5-10 minutes. it shows that the file was from C:\WINDOWS\Temp\qnor.tmp\svchost.exe, and it was detected as FakeAlert-WwSec.e

This is a malware and if it infects your computer then it will create the following registry keys:

Simply remove these keys from the registry.

Anyways, about that deleting registry key method, i only found some of the registry keys, not all, should i still delete them?
