80721
It happens alot.\nTry to delete it manually...find the location and the file and delete it.\nBut I have no patience with that, so I simply format and reinstall Windows...then I'm sure there are no viruses!\nI didnt like Norton, so I'm using Kaspersky now, but it also cant delete some viruses sometimes.\n\nEDIT: cant find it, ha? Hmm...I'd stick with formatting hard disk then. Sorry I didnt help :(

Just run your virus scan program and delete it from there, like Nortons or McAfee.  If you dont have an up to date virus program, you can find a great one for free here... http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1  Hope this helps!

There are several good things you can do that can really solve the problem,\n1)Try downloading a little easy and free program Spybot Search & Destroy, http://www.security-related.com/download2.htm , just click on the image to download, install and run the program, it s amazing cleaner and protective.\n2)if you have Windows XP, you may try to re start the computer in safe mode then run regedit and then search for the file and delete it.\n3)if you still having problems you may try formating the partition of the hard drive where the file is situated and then re instal windows.\nI advice you to get Norton Anti virus and to take care what websites u enter and not to download any program from internet, check your firewall if u have and your internet security and privacy settings to be set in safe ways.\nhope this will help u, good luck

You might have a faulty file with your norton anti-virus software. I would try un-installing it and re-installing it again. If that doesn't work, you should try to contact your vendor to see what's up....

use MCAFE VIRUS SCAN software to remove this virus.\nhttp://www.mcafee.com

You'll have to go into Add/Remove Programs. Go to Settings on your start menu, then select Control Panel. Then open Add/Remove Programs and look for the unwanted program and select remove. \nIf it is one of those viruses, then it will re-install itself. I agree with suggestions for getting a good internet security package. I use Norton.

go in through safe mode and remove it manually from your C-program file- and the specific file you are looking for.\n\nwhile you are at it, write down all of the stuff norton doesnt catch, and delete it while you are in safe mode.  \n\ngood luck.. and this WILL fix your problem.

There really is no easy answer to this.  First major hurdle is to figure out what the virus is.  If your computer is still useable, update your anti-virus software.  I'm thinking that since you have a major virus, you might not be running any anti-virus software.  Try downloading AntiVir from:\nhttp://www.free-av.com  It is completely free for personal use.  I also strongly suggest you download and run Ad-aware or Spybot (you can do both).  It can be a real challenge getting your computer to run properly once infected.  Some viruses are extremely hard to remove.  You can always re-install your Windows, but that kinda sucks if you have lots of information you don't want to lose and can't off-load it to a CDR (assuming you have a cd-burner and can use the computer).  I just can't stress enough the importance of running anti-virus software with up to date virus definitions on your computer.  Amazingly enough, even that will not guarantee that you will not get a virus, but is sure does minimize the chances.  If you are not very computer literate, find yourself a geek friend to help with this.  Good luck!\n\nRene

This virus has been around for over a year. I recommend you first go to this online scan a see if it can remove it and any other malware you might have. Allow it to remove all it finds. Write down the names(exactly as listed) of any it cannot remove. This is both a Virus and a spyware scan.\n\nhttp://housecall.trendmicro.com/\n\nHopefully your computer is clean now and you can download and Anti-Virus program. I recommend AVG. It is free and very good . Download it at this site:\n\nhttp://www.filehippo.com/download_avg_antivirus/\n\nI recommend you go to this site and learn  about Malware and how best to protect your computer.\n\nhttp://www.internetinspiration.co.uk/computer_privacy_and_security.htm

Get for sure a anti-virus.  I was with Norton and hated it.  I have a 2 month trial with Macaphee. (If you download "netscape" browser, you can have a free trial too).  Once you got a virus and can't get it out of the system, even with anti-virus, you have to find where it is (usually in keys) and manually delete it.

Without a doubt! Dump Norton! You can even tell them I said this and so do all my friends!\n\nRemoving Symantec / Norton AntiVirus and LiveUpdate \n\nClick on Start and then Control Panel. \n\nIn the control panel, double-click on Add / Remove Programs. \n\nLook through the list of installed programs for any item that says \neither Symantec, Norton, or LiveUpdate (for example "Symantec \nAntiVirus Corporate Edition" or "Norton AntiVirus 2002"). \n\nBegin looking for Symantec or Norton items. LiveUpdate should be \ndone last. For each Symantec, Norton, or LiveUpdate item, select \nthe item and click Remove or Change / Remove or Add / Remove.\nFollow the instructions, and click Yes or Yes to all when prompted.\n\nNOTE: If you attempt to remove LiveUpdate and receive a warning \nmessage about other Symantec applications being registered with \nLiveUpdate, click Yes to ignore the warning and remove LiveUpdate. \n\nWhen you are done, there should be no items in the list that say \n"Norton,""Symantec," or "LiveUpdate." \n\nClose the Add / Remove Programs window. Close the Control Panels\nwindow. \n\nReboot your computer if it hasn't already automatically rebooted. \n\nIf present, delete the C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Symantec folder. \n\nIf present, delete the C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Norton AntiVirus \n   (or C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Norton) (or C:&#92;Program Files&#92;NavNT) folder. \n\nIf present, delete the  \nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Common Files&#92;Symantec Shared folder. \n\nRun CCleaner.exe\n\nBetter AntiVirus Options:\n\nFree Anti-virus:\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/1\nhttp://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html\nhttp://www.free-av.com/\nhttp://www.trendmicro.com/hc_intro/default.asp\nhttp://www.superantispyware.com/\n\nOther Anti-virus help:\nhttp://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/\nhttp://www.cert.org/other_sources/viruses.html\n\nFree Online Virus Checks:\nhttp://onlinescan.avast.com/\nhttp://www.avast.com/eng/avast-virus-cleaner.html\nhttp://housecall.trendmicro.com/\nhttp://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml\nhttp://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus.html\nhttp://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp\n\nAlso, don't forget about Anti-Spyware:\n\nFree Anti-Spyware:\nhttp://www.spywareguide.com/onlinescan.php\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/ewido-anti-spyware-free/lng/us/tpl/v5\nhttp://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10399602.html?tag=lst-0-1\nhttp://www.windowsecurity.com/trojanscan/\n\nFree Firewall:\nhttp://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

this is a virus that is saved where Norton dose not scan which is in the windows programming that you downloaded that is why it dose not detect it. but to fix it you need to get another virus program. there are good free ones Microsoft recommends CA virus software. and use windows defender, while you are at it get a spywere program. to stop this from happening again don't go to websites that are questionable in nature and scan any file you download before you open it.

Norton does not work.\n\nUse these instead:\n\nComodo Antivirus\nComodo Firewall\nZone Alarm Firewall Anti-Virus / Anti-Trojan\nAVG Antivirus\nXoftSpy\nCounterSpy\nAdAware\n\nUsing this mix, you should be able to find and remove most of what is on your machine.

Question: did you get Norton 2006 legally or pirated? If you pirated it, get rid of it and find another antivirus. There are a few free antiviruses out there.\n\nAVG-http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1\nAvast-http://www.avast.com
