AnswerHi Bryan,
Using Internet Explorer, go to:
http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym
Click the GO button, then under Virus Detection, click Start. You might be told that you need to download and install ActiveX Controls for the scan to work, answer Yes.
Write down exactly anything it finds, then go to:
http://www.symantec.com/search/ and do a search for what was found. Symantec usually has a removal tool and/or directions for removing manually. Make sure that you follow the instructions for removal, step by step, especially the part regarding disabling System Restore.
I would also suggest installing Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5 for free from:
http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html
Check for updates everytime before running scan with Spybot.
Hope this helps!
