My Symantic Anti-virus detected a threat today but was unable to clean it or quarantine it ("failed"). The file is called "uus.dll" and it's in my system32 folder in Windows. What is this? Is it serious? The threat type was "Downloader." What does that mean and why is my anti-virus unable to do anything about it? It says "status: infected."
Wtf is going on? o___o

It also says "access denied" in the action taken section. So clean failed, quarantine failed, and access denied.

I use Ad-Aware all the time but it didn't help in this case. :/

Sometimes antivirus programs can't get rid of a program because the program is currently running. Start your computer in Safe Mode, and run the antivirus program again.

From my search it looks like a spyware more than a virus. Are you on a home computer or work one? If you are at home you can right click on your start button go to your C drive and go to your Windows folder then the System32 find the file and delete it manually. Also try a second virus scanner I suggest AVG it is a free virus software and we use it as a second line to make sure. I am an IT manager for an engineering firm in Chicago. We use Norton's then AVG. Give it a try I hope this helps. Happy Holidays!

delete them from quarantine, then test for viruses, malware, undercover agent ware, or any of the different secure practices threats. restart then if no longer something got here approximately touch the computers maker or the virus secure practices employer (whoever's product you used)

most likely a trojan you got try this link and scroll down and see which it is

seems norton did quarentine it which it should of, as you are not able to delete it.
make sure your up todate and do a full scan in safe mode

do yourself a favor and go to dowmload .com and dowmload yourself a free copy of -lavasoft-Ad-Aware SE. its one of the best, if not the best. you may also want to update you norton definitions on a daily basis, this alone will help tremendously.
