Bloodhound.MBR detected when scanning with Norton AntiVirus

Reset Bloodhound to default settings

This detection occurs when the scanner heuristics have been set to the highest level and Symantec Ghost is installed with PC Restore enabled. This does not mean that the computer has been infected by a virus. Reset the NAV Bloodhound heuristics to the default level to fix the problem.
