For about a month Symantec has been finding thousands of temp files that it claims is infected with Bloodhound.exploit.196 . I have tried the following steps to resolve the issue:

Delete all temporary files in safe mode
Run an updated virus scan
Run spyware scans (ad-aware, windows defender, and spybot)
Examined hijack this scan
Installed the latest version of all adobe programs (I've read this can sometime be related to acrobat reader 8.0)

The files appear randomly. At times SAV can find several a minute. At other times it will be hours in-between detection. I have yet to detect one being created while in safe mode. When I go into the Local Temp Folder and try deleting all of these files, it shows that they do not exist, I have to manually click on each file that doesn't exist, at one point it was over a 100 and I am at my wits end. I am running Vista. Can someone help. Here is the message I receive from Symantec.

Just more fake alerts and phantoms. I am still being attacked. I do not have Adobe Acrobat installed any longer as supposedly that could be where it orginated from. I just have no ideas where these attacks are coming from.
