Thanks guys. I already have Spybot, AdAware, and Spyware Blaster...
Bot and Ad Aware did not find anything but Norton still says it is there. Oh well...
Tell your hard drive to quit "whoring" around.

grad... in the last year some of the viruses have gotten obviously more sophisticated... they launch immediately when you boot up... which means there is some trigger in the registry... and most software can only check inactive files... so if the virus is part of an active/running file... like a dll... these programs just blow on by...Thanks guys.

Trend Micro, I believe, is supposed to be the leader in this arena... fighting viruses in active files...
problem with this is... even on a restart, some of the current viruses launch on startup (launched from registry)... same for starting up in safe mode... if the virus infected file (usually a dll) is linked/hinged onto the operating system, you can't segregate it as an inactive file...thus 'exempt' from most virus software...Standard Ad-aware just asks you if you want it to run a scan at next reboot. Then when you restart, it scans before everything loads.
