I get the same effect. The DOS box flashes for a fraction of a
second, and the report is empty.

Here's something else. When I run Ad-Aware, it finds Backdoor.ProRat,
several instances, and it gives the affected registry keys.

These keys match those that Symantec says to check in
(http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/backdoor.prorat.html).

So Ad-Aware sees these registry keys. But if I go into Regedit,
whether Safe or Normal mode, Administrator or not, none of those keys
are there!
