I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions?

Maybe...get a newer version of Norton? Like Norton 2003...if that doesn't work...well...

The virus probably infected and corrupted Roke's SVCHOST.EXE file. The rest of you guys probably don't have anything to worry about, but run a virus scan for peace of mind anyway.

Roke, what ver. of Norton do you have? Just as a question.

The latest version of Norton, I think. It runs updates so often it gets annoying.

And Paizuri, I'm basing this off that I'm on a LAN with my brother's computer, and he's the one who had it say it was a virus. The whole idea that it might have been a corrupted file is what I've been trying to tell him, but he always wants to point the finger at that which he doesn't like, which is Norton for whatever reason.

Well...if it's your brother's fault, and your computer gets to the point when you can't use it, get him to buy a new one.

Except for the people that tried to get rid of it

The sad thing is, his computer IS brand new.
