Answer 1

norton might not be able to get rid of it...here are a few more things you can do
1) if you remember about when you got the virus, go to the start menu-->all programs-->accessories-->system tools-->system restore
restore the computer to a time before you got the virus... (make sure you can find all the programs somewhere else in case they get removed as well)

2) make sure your norton is up-to-date (current version)
then re-scan

3) download a new antivirus program. here is one free one: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
make sure you completely disable norton so avast can run properly (disable only after removing the internet connection)

these are not in any true order, but i recommend trying the second, then the first, the the third.
hope that helped
