Thanks Jay

Yes, I'm willing, able and HAVE deleted the entries in the registry. Makes no difference. Can't remember the name off-hand (haven't used my home 'puter for a week), and distinct names aren't cited on Norton's help centre, just Trojan Virus. I don't know what the behaviour is - I detect nothing untoward. Just this Norton nag message I can't get rid of. I don't know if it's one of those credit card no. or bank detail pinchers, or something quite innocuous. But I've nevver known Norton to kick up such a fuss.

I went through all the steps, including disabling system restore, so the virus can't insinuate itself back in the registry, but that had no effect. I think it may be due to my not having any restore points to which to return, BEFORE the bugger got in there (don't know why I haven't)

Any more ideas?

Terry
