Hi, I have had similiar problems with viruses. The best thing to do is to use SmitFraudfix. If that doesn’t work the next best thing is ComboFix. Both of these can easily be found on the internet using Google. One or the other will definitely fix your problem.
Answer by Anand
maybe u should try updating norton
Answer by justin
I agree with chaminda.! Norntan is no good. Go for AVG free or try Kaspersky..>!
Answer by Oswald M
Best thing to do in this situation is booting your computer in safe mode, then scanning it for viruses. If the problem still persist, then you should get a different anti virus software.
Answer by nandavkumar
U try to Quarantine. Else go to safe mode delete the warned file.
Answer by Sly_Old_Mole
Turn off system restore.
Start in safe mode without internet & do a full scan.
this should clear the virus, if it does not do a free online scan:
