Ok. Thats good news. Thank You!!!!

Before you go can you please tell me if these two issues are worth worrying about ?.......

I'm seeing some new process causing high cpu usage. I looked it up online to see what it is and several threads are saying its not a great thing usually causing errors on pc. Maybe you'll know more about it. Its called atibtmon.exe????

And I'm still getting multiple performance alert notifications from norton concerning host process for windows services causing high usage. Its that same c:\windows\sys32\svchost.exe

Any of these processes suspicious????

Thanks a billion!!!!!!! You are due more than just beer or beers for that matter You are a godsend!

atibtmon.exe is legit process, don't worry.

Norton is probably doing its stupid alerts, so I would like to see what is it. I would like to see the picture of Norton detection.

Hi! Sorry I havent provided any photos my laptop doesnt have a memory card drive and I need to buy one. I still get those notifications at least 3 times a day regarding high usage from svchost.exe

Anyway, Im writing about another malware attack on my pc about an hour ago. So far, I havent seen or experienced any symptoms. But I just thought I'd bring it to your attention just in case.
Norton popped up another notification from Web Attack fake scan webpage 7 its an intrusion attempt.On attacking computer and URL it says malwaredetection.net

This is how the whole trojans.poweliks happened. Norton giving me a notification then it blocked it but my pc later getting infected. Should I be concerned???? or is there anything I can do to prevent these attack again???
Also, should I change my router password and all my online account passwords?? I would love to hear your recommendations on how to prevent this from happening again

THANKS!!
