How do you delete a bloodhound virus if Norton does not let you fix quarantine or delete?

Answer 1

Bloodhound isn't necessarily a virus. If Norton's "Bloodhound" technology finds a suspicious piece of code in a file it names it something like "Bloodhound.exploit.13" or similar. Remember Norton have a vested interest in frightening people. It can't remove it because it probably isn't a virus. Download free Antivirus software from Grisoft.com or www.free-av.com or similar and see if the virus still appears. You can delete the file yourself hold down shift and press delete in Windows explorer when the file is highlighted or leave it in quarantine.

blood houndBloodhound is not the name of a virus, but a message displayed by Symantec's Norton Anti-Virus when it thinks it may have found a new virus.

9/10 times it is nothing.... Sometimes it is picking up a vulnerability that a windows update covers..

You can try running a full system scan with Norton in Safe Mode to remove the Bloodhound virus. If that doesn't work, you may need to use an alternative antivirus program or seek help from a professional malware removal service. It's important to act quickly to prevent the virus from causing further damage to your system.
