How do I remove a threat called Boot.Malmo from my computer

Norton Security | Norton Internet Security

I have installed Norton Antivirus 2011 on several computers, and they all show unresolved very high risks called Boot.Malmo. I have tried the Norton Power Erasor, but hasnt worked on any of them.  How do I remove it?  It is infecting every memory stick used, and as a result, all computers are affected!

I would recommend a visit to one of the free malware removal forums.  Boot infections are problematic because of OEM MBR's in a lot of machines, laptops in particular.

Hopefully you have created a Norton Bootable Recovery CD.

 

Instructions for removal here under the "Removal" tab: http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2000-122009-5001-99

Norton cannot repair or cure the MBR like with TDL4, Whistler and Mebroot family.
