So if Norton and Symantec have identified it, then it’s a non - issue, just have either company roll out a script online that anyone can download for free to remove it, problem solved.

Maybe. Maybe not.

I would presume this is some sort of root kit based trojan. They are notoriously hard to get rid of. I doubt if a simple utility of any sort would do the job.

And I continue to wonder why Microsoft cannot protect their operating system from this sort of thing. Windows has been around for nearly 20 years and we are still fighting off virus, worm, malware and trojan attacks.
