I remember a similar problem getting rid of a virus/trojan, found out it kept coming back because I has system restore on. Had to turn restore off, clean the system then re-enable restore. The virus was sitting in the restore file and would just come back every time I booted up. That solved my problem. Maybe you need to go that route too.

This from Symantec regarding JS/Downloader

The following instructions pertain to all current and recent Symantec antivirus products, including the Symantec AntiVirus and Norton AntiVirus product lines.
  1. Disable System Restore (Windows Me/XP).
  2. Update the virus definitions.
  3. Run a full system scan and delete all the files detected as JS.Downloader.Trojan.
