What are these files? Virus Help.

Ok, today my Norton anti-virus told me I needed to restart to remove a threat, so I did. It says it was a "Backdoor Tidserv". I've tried Googling it, but found nothing, so please refrain from telling me to Google it/telling me Norton sucks. The file name was b3b7.tmp, and the treat name was "Backdoor.Tideserv". The infected files that were removed were: c:\programdata\microsoft\windows\drm\b3b7.tmp and c:\programdata\microsoft\windows\drm\b3b8.tmp . Any ideas on what these are/ where they came from is greatly appreciated so I can avoid them in the future. Thanks!

  • Really? Because I googled it, and [url=http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2008-091809-0911-99]the very first link[/url] was a symantec site that explains in detail what it is. Basically, it's a rootkit designed to slap adware on everything. Generally the only way to really remove a rootkit is to reinstall the OS, but if that's not an option then make sure to do a few more scans a while after Norton removes it to make sure it doesn't come back.
