Just hours after updating my virus definitions, and downloading the new Windows updates, I get a message from Norton saying this virus has been detected. I downloaded the removal tool which did its thing and then told me it could not find this virus, as did the scan I did after using the tool. The next time I logged on, naturally, there it was again, in winfrwl32.exe, according to Norton message!I now have it quarantined and am wondering if I should delete since Norton said it could not fix it ????? Thanks much for any help you can provide.

Why do you think Norton should "fix" a virus file? You need to
delete that virus file from quarantine immediately.
