Virus not detected by AntiVirus.. dangerous?

I let a virus on my PC by accident, it WAS detected at 1st by Norton to say
that it entered the system and there was no way of getting rid of it. Then
when I ran a Virus scan nothing showed up. I'm afraid that it is one of those
viruses that notes down every password you type. Any help?

A bit more info would be helpful.
How do you know you still have an unnamed virus? If so, did Norton say which
one?
Possibly Norton quarantined it, that's why you can't find it. Have you
checked the Norton log?

If Norton detected it you are almost certainly OK. It may have
quarantined it, in which case you could try looking for it there.

Was it an email virus?
