deleting virus

[Colin Phipps]

My Norton scan came up with 2 threats it was unable to delete. Both were at
C:/Documents and settings/Colin/local settings/Temporary Internet
Files/Content IE5
But using windows explorer shows no folders below Temporary Internet Files.
I have hidden folders showing, and even tried in diagnostic mode but still
the same
