Did you try running Norton when Windows is in SAFE MODE?
You may also have to disable the Restore folder to flush it out.

See an old post of mine that might give you some pointers (it was for Download Trojan virus)........

Make sure you have the latest definitions, run in safe mode (as suggested by Michael2) and make sure everything (all directories, compressed files) are set to scan. If that does'nt work, try Mcafee Free scan under the Downloads section.
