I got a tip about House Call! (internet based AV-scanning)

I ran it and found a backdoor virus - BKDR_SDBOT.A

It apparently installed when I ran a program that was supposed to be something else (no, not an e-mail attachment)

Since my AV-programs dont work I had to get rid of it manually. In order to do this I had to delete Rundll32.exe

Can I be without this file ot what?

I then scanned with housecall again - the virus seemed to be gone. Then I tried to re-install Norton AV again - same as before. It shuts down after about a minute of scanning. I have tried to shut down other programs normally running at the same time as NAV, no luck.

I can scan individual files with Norton, so I figured I would test it with the infected file that housecall found. Norton found nothing. I have all the current updates.

Doesnt this show that Norton isnt all that good? (I should say that prior to this I had never had any problems w Norton)
