[pchelpers] i have a virus

I have a new virus in my kernel32.exe file and it is in my kdll.dll file too
according to "Norton's".  I am using windows XP Professional.
{aside: I got the W95/Badtrans.B@mm virus BEFORE I got around to installing
my Norton software. As soon as I saw bouncing e-mails from newsgroups,
strangers, etc. I knew I waited too long to install....}

First Norton said the files could not be cleaned.   and could not be deleted
because they were in use so it "quarantined" them.

a few min later i got an error message that "kernel32.exe" had performed an
illegal operation and would be closed.

I thought "kernel32" was necessary for ANYTHING to run, so I am suprised
that I am still running with it closed.
(I looked in my "taskmanager/processes" and it is not on the list).

NOW FINALLY MY QUESTION:
with the kernel32 "quarantined", and infected, and not running, what is
going to happen when I reboot my computer?

How do I get a clean copy of these two files?

Please help me,  I am drowning in my self pity.
