ok, i got a solution....... hold on to your hats guys
1. with your norton scan it should tell you the name of the file and the location, make a note of this..
2. restart your computer, and startup using safe mode (pressing F8 on startup, this should give you a list of startup options, select 'safe-mode'
3 Locate the suspect files and delete them (it should allow you to do this in safe mode)
4 empty your trashcan.
5 restart your computer (just as ordinary)
6 run notron antivirus
7 whilst running scan put the kettle on
8 if norton comes back clean, enjoy cup of tea
9 if trojan still there, pour boiling water over keyboard(only kidding)
10 EUREKA!!!
hopefully job done :)

I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. MY COMPUTER ALSO SAYS THAT THERE IS NO SIGN OF A TROJAN BUT NORTON SAYS THERE IS. I EVEN TRIED SYSTEM RESTORE AND IT WOULD NOT LET ME SO I'M AT A LOSS.

I guess I don't need to say anything cos it seems everyone here is having the same problem.
I tried the remove tool suggested and that didn't work - msg came up saying it couldn't find anything on my computer.
I also tried a trojan remover from this website - it seems to do something cos my Norton status has changed from having problems to being fine (i.e. from red to green) BUT I restarted my computer and ran any possible scans I could think of and low and behold Norton picked up on the same problem again.
Has anyone else had the trojan affect other file(s)? Mine was originally on a music download I downloaded a few days ago. Then after trying the suggested remove tool scan (and it not finding anything) a msg came up saying another music file I downloaded months ago had also been affected.
IF SOMEBODY CAN HELP, PLEASE PLEASE DO SO!!! MUCH APPRECIATED

I downloaded the removal tool from symantec... I ran it but like you, It said the virus wasn't there and when I ran another complete system scan the virus is detected. What I did was booted up in safe mode and when I ran the removal tool the virus was detected and removed. I then ran another complete system scan after rebooting in regular mode and the virus seems to be gone. I have not rebooted yet and done another scan but will when I'm off the pc for the night. But It looks like it's gone.
me too, but this is on a file ive had a few months, tried the removal tool but it doesnt find anything, but norton still says its there, strange that this has all hapened all in the last 2 days for all of us??
Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Ask a question
hopefully, due to the volume of 'traffic' whilst waiting on the 'system' the will provide a live update to help :)

Finally crisis over!!! phewww......thanks Dan and Pike, your help was much appreciated. Hope none of us have any more problems any time soon......touch wood!!!
Hi.. It is kinda weird, we are all infested rather, attacked by this Trojan on the same date. Mine, i think i have got it from a store where i used my USB flash disk to recopy pictures. Their computer does only have AVG free. I tried scanning my USB flash disk on my computer. There, i think i was infected. I got the same situation as much as everybody here. Well, i will just cross my finger if the safe mode game will work in my laptop. I hope you bet try the suggestions on this page too.

The solution for me as listed above from Pike with some minor notes.
1. Norton Scan identified the virus gave me direction to download the virus remover.
2. Loaded the virus remover from Norton, however on my last attemp I put the virus-remover file on my desktop.
3. Opened my computer in Safe-mode . . . then ran the virus remover from my desktop. (This way I didn't have to open my Windows explorer, which I think allowed the virus to start running)
4. As I mentioned this worked for me.
5. Re tried norton virus scan and it was gone... also the log file stated the infected file name fixed and that virus had been removed.
Good Luck!

Neither time was successful. On each occasion the removal tool said the virus had gone but it was found by a subsequent system scan.
Thanks for YOUR method it did the trick ... first time
best wishes
