Default Downloaded a file w/viruse attached...help

I use Norton and it showed that a file I downloaded had a number of viruses. It was able to delete all but two. How come Norton wasn't able to detect it? Now it keeps telling me, that I still have two viruses. Is the solution to get ride of them to format? And why do these jerks do this. Is it because they don't have a life and nothing better to do than ruin someone elses day?
Sorry guys...PMSing

They have no life, and nothing better to do, is all I can figure.

Did you try going to norton website. http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/d...d=ie&venid=sym

They may have a removal tool you can use. If norton identified the virus you can look it up.

Best of luck, and I really loathe people like that.

I recomend two online scanners i used to use. Virus makers are a bit of lamer thing, they have no time n they have no friends so they make these files to get attention.

Thumbs up Viruses..ggggrr

Thank you both for the info. I found 33 spywear and 2 trojans. Took care of the trojans but said it had to make an update for the spywear.

I deleted the file that gave me the virus. Didn't want anyone else to download the file.

Thanks again.
