I have Norton AntiVirus 2007 and a new Vista PC which is about 3 months old.
Norton AV is reporting that I have two instances of the  'W32.Spybot.Worm'.
Norton just says 'review' and fails to remove them.

I have switched off System restore and re-run the scanner but the same
thing happens, I have tried running it in Safe mode but it still reports the
same.

What does this mean? Should I be worried?

None of Symantec instructions for Norton AV relate to Vista (only up to XP)
and I am a bit reluctant to follow them since they involve editing the
registry.

I cannot find any automatic removal tools on the web for XP or otherwise.

Please help.
