ok, i did the following
boot into safe mode, run norton, malwarebytes, superantispyware, and hijack this all in order with no reboots in between, and all in safe mode
upon reboot norton is still throwing up a warning that c:\windows\system 32\services.exe is trying to attack the norton.exe (or whatever the name is)
i dont understand this
the only thing that came up on the scans were some adware cookies
i notice in the hijack this log a lot of missing files
particuarially associated with lsass.exe
and this is the file that windows\system32\services.exe is "attacking" i think
