Computer Virus advice needed?

My computer displays this message many times everyday, and I'd like to know it there is anything I can do about it?



"Norton Antivirus Repair Alert:



swapfile1 is infected with Hacktool.Underhand. It could not be repaired."



Thank you for your assistance.

basically the file is in use so nortons cannot repair it. So what you do is boot in safe mode where only a small amount of the operating system is used, allowing nortons to repair it



you could boot in safe mode then run your nortons or do what I paste below.



Norton live Safe Mode virus scan



========================



1. Go to this link, below, and save it in your favourites. Save it up at the top of your favourites drop down list, otherwise you may not be able to see it in safe mode. (drag it to the top)



Close the window



2. Turn off popup blocker on your browser or software.



3. Turn off system restore as long as you are confident you don鈥檛 need it.



Right click my computer icon %26gt;properties %26gt;system restore tab %26gt; turn off.



This will delete all restore points. (System restore can harbour virus)
