oiy, ok.
Let's see...

I have a real good antivirus program that WILL delete the offending file for you. It's called AntiVir personal edition and its free you can get it off download.com.
Um.. this did not seem to do much of anything. It was just like "no virus" and then it finished.

another solution..clean out your temporary folder (via 'internet properties')..that gets rid of a few of the at-risk files norton won't exterminate...(i also get rid of my cookies & erase history while i'm at it)
I can't seem to get rid of my temporary internet files. I try to do it through explorer and it freezes. So I tried to do it manually by going to the folder and deleting files, and it denies me access to doing so.

When you know the path to the virus you can remove it manually using the quarantine program that comes with Norton AntiVirus. Then scan the folder it was in again to make sure it's gone.
I did a scan with Norton (which took 4.5 hours, ugh), and nothing came up. Either the virus is eluding it now, or it was a false alarm.

I've used a huge number of different scanning programs in my job, but only AVG Free hasn't let me down yet.
AVG does not love me. There was an error when I tried to install it.

Also, keep in mind that some trojans embed themselves into the backup files that system restore makes, so if you use system restore, it will bring back the trojan as well.
Yes, I know. I turned my system restore off awhile ago.
I am not sure if this is a false alarm or what, since I do not see any weird symptoms, except for while I was actually scanning for viruses with the AT scanner, and the fact that I can't seem to delete my temp internet files. Are these signs of infection, or just quirks?
