Hi,
Last night Norton detected a virus in my win.ini file. Since then it has found and quartined 11 other infected files that it cannot fix. I have no idea what I should do, I keep my pc pretty tidy and have never had a virus before. I made sure my norton anti-virus was up to date, but it still can't do anything with the files. Should I just try deleting them or should I just try to reinstall windows or something???

Just now it found 2 more infected files!!!
Another win.ini file and a marco!.scr.

Is there no end?
