Everytime I run a system scan I get the following

Source: SaveInstWm.exe
Description: The compressed file SaveInstWm.exe within C:\WINDOWS\Temporary
Internet Files\Content.IE5\P33ZDXSA\WeatherAutoCAST0010[1].cab is a Adware
threat.


Norton won't delete these files, probably because I cannot find them on my
hard drive. Is Norton finding them in my registry?

Hi,
It may be due to the cab extension being 'hidden'. Right click on
the 'my computer' icon, then on 'view' and then on 'folder options'
and again 'view'. In the section 'hidden files' make sure the choice
'show all files' is selected. Then bring up your Windows Explorer and
follow the path to see if the file now shows. If found, delete it.
