So since yesterday, my Norton Antivirus keep saying the file msdirectx.sys on my computer was infected by a virus named Hacktoo.Rootkit. I've done a little bit of research on the internet on how to remove this but can't find a solution.
Unlike other people who got infected with the same virus, my computer seems to be running fine. The only problem I have is NAV keep popping messages saying I was infected. I went to System Configuration Utility but haven't seen any weird startup program. Nothing weird on my Windows Task Manager either. I deleted msdirect.sys from my computer but Norton Antivirus keep popping messages saying I was infected.
Also, the file keep reappearing after every restart. I ran HijackThis and so far, the only problem I see is with a file named mcafee.exe. This file is somehow related to msdirectx.sys. However, I've already deleted mcafee.exe from my computer and it never came back. However, everytime I use HijackThis to remove the mcafee.exe line from my computer, it keep coming back. My HijackThis log is below. Thanks for the help.
