Hi all, Nortons has picked up 2 threats, under the threat name Adware_Minar:

mirar_distro_876260.exe and mirar_VC_Setup_876260_V58IE7.exe

Norton cannot fix them. Spybot and Ad Aware do not pick them up. Any ideas how I can get rid of them, or do I need to get rid of them?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried Googling with mirar_distro_876260.exe as the subject?

Have a look here. http://research.sunbelt-software.com/threatdisplay.aspx?name=Mirar&threatid=8529
Looks like you need to run an application called Smitfraud to get rid of it, Superantispyware (free scanner available..very good) might well do it to.
