I have a client at home that has some malicious activity
on his 2000 pro machine. We have identified that he has
the iroffer.exe and firedaemon.exe running in the task
manager as well as IRC Flooder of some sort. How come
norton does not pick this stuff up? I have read up on
it, but nowhere can I find how to get rid of it. I have
deleted the registry entries, but not sure what else to
do as my trojan software will not pick it up either.
This is causing his Internet connection to be slow to
nothing. Help!!

Because Norton causes more problems than it solves perhaps?
it, but nowhere can I find how to get rid of it. I have

You may have to wipe the machine (save data but not programs)
unless you can find specific removals tools (search Google etc.)
and TRUST them to be complete.

You can use IPSec to close the IRC ports and such but you
still have to ferret out the infected and added executables.

Have you tried FProtect, SpywareBlaster, SpyBots Search and
Destroy, and AdAware (Lavasoft)?

All are free except FProtect which is so close to free for more
than a few machines it might as well be and it is generally much
less intrusive AND at least as effective as Norton.

$80 for twenty licenses is free in my book.
