I use Symantec Endpoint protection and I own http://www.vayumedia.com .
I had a few of my website's visitors tell me that they thought I had a virus on my website. When I opened my website I recevied the Norton Pop Up: [SID 24089] Web Attack: Malicious Toolkit Website 9. I receive it in Internet explorer sometimes and sometimes not.
I ran the URL thru:
Norton Safe Web: Safe
AVG Tool: Safe
GoogleSafeBrowsing: Safe
UrlVoid.com: Safe
Online Link scan: safe
Dr. Web: Safe
We couldn't find anything on the website. I am at a loss why Norton is reporting this.
What can I do to detect the issue and remove it from the website? Or is this a false reporting issue?

Have you tried going to your site by clicking on a link in a Google search? Sometimes these types of attacks will only be triggered if there is a referrer. The fact that the attack does not launch on every visit does not mean there is not an infection - many of these are randomized to evade detection. It may not be a false positive.

I couldn't replicate it this moment but I had enough of the warning pop-ups and feedback from visitors that I do think it is real.
However, I don't know what tools I can use to remove this problem form the website.

Norton is identifying 129.121.39.173/home/index.php. if that helps at all. I am not affected on Firefox because NoScript stops the script from running. It is recognized on Internet Explorer immediately and blocked.

This explains why I only saw it using Internet Explorer.
This tool seems to have identified it for me: http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/
I may use them to see if they can clean it up for me.
Thank you.
