:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: its something to do with when you boot up your PC and it gives you the option to go back to your last known good settings (e.g. before you got the trojan horse)

A destructive program that masquerades as a benign application. Unlike viruses, Trojan horses do not replicate themselves but they can be just as destructive. One of the most insidious types of Trojan horse is a program that claims to rid your computer of viruses but instead introduces viruses onto your computer.

How did you know it was a trojan? Norton must have said. Usaually it has a name in front of '.trojan' so it could be called: 'yeovilred'snasty.trojan'

Boot up in safe mode and then run a Norton scan. Norton should be able to get rid of it in safe mode. If not go to the symmantec website for instructions.
