I have acquired Trojan.Vundo.B (Object Name:
C:\Windows\REGIST~\cabplay.dll)

I have followed the Symantec removal procedure in Safe Mode, including
regedit, without success. I also tried reverting my hard drive with Norton
GoBack but it would not revert to a time prior to the infection.

Any help gratefully appreciated.
