TFC may have found the root of the issue and deleted it.
Is your C drive a SSD drive or SATA?

OK it sounds like what ever was causing the issue was erased by TFC at this point but I would like to watch it for a couple more days and if everything is working correctly then we will consider this resolved.

OK epubreader-1.4.2.4-sm+fx.xpi is a epubreader for firefox.
So now the question is do you use FireFox and do you read epub files?

This one seems to be a malware scan of a video named iLividSetup-r742-n-bc.exe
What malware scanner program are you using? How often does it run?

OK have you checked the Norton log to see if it is finding that file?
What browser do you use?

OK I think that file then will appear anytime you read a epub file.
What about the video file?
