Norton can't delete files

[Lil' Abner]

I ran Norton on a computer (in Safe Mode) and it came up with 63
infections. They were all Trojan Downloader or Trojan Horse. It couldn't
repair, quarantine or delete a one of them. They were all in two different
users' Local Settings\temp folders. I proceeded to go to those folders and
delete all the contents of them. They deleted just fine. If I can do it,
why can't Norton? I realize they may have been inside of some compressed
files, but if they're in a "temp" folder, you'd think Norton would delete
the compressed files.

Your problem here is Norton. Get rid of it and install a decent
Antivirus solution that actually detects and removes viruses - the very
role an Antivirus is employed for.
