How do I get rid of Trojan-Spy.Win32@mx?

Question

Today I was infected with this trojan and I have an updated version of Norton Antivirus running, but it didn't stop the virus to get in the system. When I ran full scan it said it removed the virus but there's a warning pop up here saying System Alert: Trojan-Spy.Win32@mx, type: Spyware/trojan... Please any help is appreciated!

You may have to manually delete it! You can go to start, search, files & folders, type the name in, hit search, and when it finds it delete it. Sometimes with trojans they do it so you can't delete it normally. Then you'll have to go into safe mode, find it again, and then delete it.

Answer 5
