If not done so already, I would suggest you Update your Product - Virus Definitions, Intrusion Prevention, Firewall Definitions - and then Run a Full System Scan.

I have a computer with Windows Vista Business.  Last Friday, Norton Antivirus 2008 said it found one infected file, backdoor.IRC.flood but "cannot remove associated files."

 

I've tried researching online.  Any of the manual instructions I've found say to start by using Windows Search to look for the backdoor.IRC.flood file and then once that is removed, you can delete some of the other associated processes and files and it lists which ones.

 

The problem is that my computer is not finding backdoor.IRC.flood.  I've also tried running spyware checkers and none of them have even found that there was a problem.

 

Any suggestions?

Did not NAV remove the actual infected file, backdoor.irc.flood?  It could not remove associated files. Look here for the specific files that NAV is telling you about.  Hope this helps.
