      dratul.....There's something strange going on here .....If you have Norton AV and its upto date and the subscription is current  it should have deleted that virus or at the very least placed it in quarintine......Are you certain you have Norton configured correctly ........The other thing which jumps out at me is why you have two AV....installed .....two isnt better ........

      If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

      As a computer salesman I'd say you should come to my store and get yourself a nice new copy of Norton AV (and Personal Firewall while your at it). As a Regular Joe, dump that Norton crap and keep AVG updated... ;)
