I use Norton Internet Security 2014 (version 21.1.1.7) which detects the Transcend Backup Mgmt s/w as a Trojan. When I run the program Transcendelite.exe it gets detected as SONAR.Heuristic.120 by NIS. A Full System Scan of the local hard drive and the portable drive didn't detect anything. So, where is this Trojan hiding and how to remove it ?

Hello rameshiyer :welcome:

My name is Nutloaf, and I will be helping you with Malware Removal.


Please read all instructions and fixes thoroughly.

  • I would advise printing any instructions for easy reference as some of the fixes may require you to boot in Safe mode and access to the GeeksToGo website will be unavailable.
  • Any fixes provided by myself are for this log file only and cannot be used on any other systems.
  • Do not run any other removal software or perform updates other than the ones I provide, as it will complicate the cleaning process.
  • You have 4 days to reply to each post or the topic will be closed. You will be able to request that the topic be re-opened if you still require assitance.
  • Please feel free to ask any questions, especially if you are having problems with my instructions.


Finally before we start:

Removing malware is a complicated multiple step process, Please stay with me until I have declared your system clean. I strongly recommend you backup your personal files and folders.


Ok let's begin.

I have read your topic at the Norton Forum, which makes for an interesting read so I think I am up to speed on this. If I am correct you have uploaded said file to Norton and to VirusTotal with a clean result from both? Where did you download Transcend Backup Mgmt from?

A few scans for you to complete for me please :)
