so hey i am new to this site and need assistance with this virus. i have updated norton and it will not delete from my system. what is my next step. thanx for any info you can provide

I'm having the same problem. I've tried everything. Ad Aware, cwshredder, hijackthis. Norton still says I have a download.trojan in belt.exe, which I can't even find on my computer. Is it possible that the file and/or virus is gone, and this is an error with Norton Antivirus? Thanks for the help.

There are a ton of download viruses. 84 by McAfee's count. Did Norton say why it couldn't delete it? Have you tried one of the free virus scans, like housecall. Is the specific name download.trojan or did Norton give you another name?
You might also try AdAware and Spybot.

Is it in your restore folder? (System Volume Information) You need to turn off system restore, reboot and turn it back on again once you verify that virus is cleaned out.
Also may need to run the scan in safe mode or "end process" on the identified trojan.
All info on how to do any of these things will be found on the above symantec links.

I ran House Call and Trojan Remover, and they both say I'm clean, but Norton still keeps saying I have a download.trojan in belt.exe.

Belt.exe is the trojan itself...
Can you post your hijack log in the security forum?..Just make sure you have the latest version of HijackThis. The reason for posting the log in the security/virus forum...it will be removed if posted here. Thanks.ps. Please also state that you used ad-aware and several other virus removal procedures..or post will dissapear.

I have the same problem with a download.trojan message and have done everything you have suggested with no good luck. Have also done everything Symantec tells me, no luck. Have run every removal tool you can imagine, no luck.....Please help!!!!!!!!!!!11

Help
Norton anti-virus keeps telling me I have netspy trojan horse called C:\windows\explorer.exe. The file cannot be deleted, and the problem is not helped by reinstalling windows XP. I've done all the Symantec instructions, run trojan remover, ad-aware, and loaded Hijack This. Below is the log file - can you help please. I suspect c:\windows\explorer.exe is the trojan - how do I delete it ?
Thank youLogfile of HijackThis v1.97.7
