Default Trojan in msurl\32.exe


Norton advised me of a Trojan in C:\windows\system32\msurl\32.exe. I did a
virus check in safe mode and it found three instances of it which it could
not clean so I took the option to quarantine them. Now when I reboot I get a
message saying that the (now quarantined) file cannot be found and to make
sure that it exists or to remove it from the registry. Is this a file that I
need to re-install from somewhere or can I safely delete the registry
reference, if I can find it.
Derek.

Run hijackthis and note the entries under category 04,
you should be able to delete the key with the "fix checked" option.

Thank you. There was also an entry in F1 which referred to an entry in
boot.ini. I could not see it in boot.ini but I did delete F1.
