I was reading a lot of the post, and ran one of the free scans, which picked up 1,227 trojans, mot called sbot, with some BDE. the program is called the Cleaner 3.5, and should i be worried that Norton Antivirus didn't pick any of these up. All my virus definitions are up to date.

No worry at all about Norton not detecting BDE.Anti-virus programs don't do that as far as I know.The important thing is that you got rid of Brilliant Digfital(BDE).What you found may have been a bunch of spyware in addition to the BDE junk.Regards JB
