The only safe way is to format the system and restore a backup from before

the infection.

 

Then find out how the infection got there in the first place and prevent it

from occurring again.

Hi Ivan,

 

Have you tried going through the removal steps suggested by Symantec,

including running your scan in safe mode and manually removing the reg keys?
