Let me tell you how I got rid of this problem once and for all. I used to folk over hundreds each year for a tech to remove viruses from my business computer. Haven’t had to have a computer technician remove any viruses for the past year. I bought a new computer last year, loaded up Ubuntu Linux for free, and use Open Office for all of my office applications. (You can save as a Work file, etc.) Works great, the clients see nothing different, and I have not had a virus on my LInux machine the whole time! Give it a try. You can download it for free, install it to run side by side with the Windows crap, and try it. I love it and will not return to Windows.

MH690 is suppose to affect logging into Windows. Basically you log in & it will log you right back out just as quick. The only way to get rid of it is to reinstall Windows. Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Last Known Good Configuration, etc. I believe it affects WinLogOn.

I too was told by Norton it would remove MH690 if I forked over a 3-digit figure, and there would be no guarantee the problem would not return.

I was furthere informed there are “very intelligent people” who create these viruses (presumably justifying Norton’s outrageous protection racket).

When I told Norton they should warn people upfront about their scam, they merely repeated their terms, and added that the blocked threat could morph into something far more dangerous at any time.

Whoever is responsible for this scam should share Bernie Madoff’s cell with him for the next 150 years. Seriously!

My Norton 360 says it cannot remove Packed.Generic.218 and customer service says it needs $100 to remove it. They are crazy. Also, Norton says its a high level threat yet all research I’ve done says its a low level threat. What is Norton trying to pull? Does anyone know how to remove this threat without paying? Help!

I got the same Suspicious.MH690, I called Symantec for help. they told me they will charge me $130 extra to remove it, (After paying $60 for the 360 Virus projection program) So what about if I get another “threat” next week and the next week? That could be a great way of income for Symantec?

One thing for sure I am sick of Symantec and their pranks. I am getting a new Anti Virus suit.

Set Norton to quarantine and delete, make sure you get rid of system restore information, it’s mostly there also.

I got the same thing, but what does the file do? I mean I know its a hacker’s open door, but how in the first place do you open it, and How can you close it? I had 4 and somehow got rid of 1 but I don’t know what I did. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

How do I remove MH690. I have Norton and when I run a scan it says it can’t find the file it is attached to. Thanks for your help!
