Question How can I be 100% sure a virus has been fixed?!

Hello everyone

Last night I had a similar situation where 2 viruses decided to very kindly make their home on my computer. One was a Trojan Horse and the other was Bloodhound.Exploit.6.

Both files were detected by my up to date Norton Anti-Virus, however the log file states that access to both files was denied and therefore the repair failed. Since then I performed a scan with both NAV and Trand HouseCall-both found no viruses. I have also ran HijackThis and there was one dodgy looking entry, so I fixed that. I have also deleted my Temporary Internet Files folder because this is where the Trojan Horse was located.

I still have that niggling feeling though that there is something still lurking in the background. Surely Norton Internet Security should have prevented those things in the first place? My security settings seemed to have changed though since installing Windows XP SP2.

Is there anything else I can do to double check my system?! Also any ideas on how to further increase the security on my PC would be greatly appreciated!
