Hi,

Windows 7 Home Premium with Norton 360 v2 installed.
After installed free software downloaded from internet, my system happened to have pop up Windows Security box.
When I tried to run eg. .exe this box came up.

Please see attached file of the screen snapshot.

I have also run MalwareByte Anti-Malware, it deleted 7 infected objects in the first run.
Reboot my pc and re-scan with it, no infected objects found. But this warning box still came up.

I tried:
GMER Rootkit Scanner

Just started scanning and got the problem, a pop up box:
"gmer.exe has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Please see attached file.
