Do you have "emergency boot disks" for Norton? If you start the computer
with these, you should be able to delete the file because you won't be
running Norton AV under windows.
When you say you can "quarrantine" the file, are you saying that Norton
successfully places it in an inactive directory so that the program is
not able to run? If so, do you need to actually delete the file? Or
does Norton FAIL to quarrantine it so that when you run Norton again, it
finds a live virus/trojan horse/whatever that it tries to quarrantine AGAIN?
