I rebooted my computer and immediatly got a message from Norton that a virus had been found;
Object Name: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntsf.exe
Virus Name: Bloodhound.Morphine
Action Taken: first: Unable to repair
second: Access to the file was denied
Next I ran a scan of the whole WINDOWS folder, it found the same virus and when I tried to quarantine and delete it Norton wasn't able to.
How do I get rid of this virus/trojan? Is there any danger of the infection having spread? How can I make sure i don't get infected by this type of virus in the future?
Thanks in advance
