Ignore it. Symantec screwed up. Update your definitions..
"Symantec False Positive
The definition files released by Symantec (rev 7) on January 1, 2006 are incorrectly detecting MC***.tmp files created by the Spy Sweeper Enterprise client as Backdoor.Graybird. Symantec was notified of this False Positive and they created Rapid Release definitions to resolve this issue. If you seeing this behavior, you can download the Definition File (rev 18) that corrects this from Symantec's public FTP site."

Thanks for helpful replies.Never turned off System Restore and did make several full scans with Norton. I do indeed have Spysweeper installed and the virus shows as MC22.tmp I even tried in Trendmicro which showed my comp to be clean. Booting up now,(next day),the Norton Alert still shows. Will do as you suggestand report back.

Did as you suggested. Downloaded latest Symantec updates. Rebooted, VIRUS ALERT GONE. As a possible help to others the details of the alert was as follows: C:\Docume~1\private|locals~1\temp\MC22.tmp. Again much obliged. Thanks very much for your help.
