This is the right forum to put this, I think? *sweatdrop*

Does anybody know anything about the "Bloodhound Virus?" Norton says we got it.....but when we did a virus scan with Norton, they couldn't find it. O_o

I tried to do a search about it with Google and Yahoo, but it keeps freezing up every single time I do. So I have no clue on what it does or how to get rid of it. -_-

Any help would be appreciated.

hmmm...do you have anything like HijackThis, Spybot, or AdAware? if you do, try running any one of them and see if they turn up anything (but be sure to update the definitions first).

oh also, Symantec says that Norton will call anything that's suspicious but not in the virus definitions a "bloodhound". which means it may be nothing. but if your browser is locking up, then you've probably got something o.O

That sure sounds like spyware to me... I'd download and run adaware (like SH said).
