Try updating Norton. How do you know its an virus if its not getting picked up?
Also, try a free malware program. Adaware, Spybot, and Malwarebytes are all good. They might be able to get it as well.

I would recommend malwarebytes. The free version has a powerful scan that finds things common AVs like macafee and norton don’t.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
It won cnet’s editor choice award earlier this year. It’s got rid of a few viruses I had that neither macafee or windows defender could detect.

I’d recommend you switch to Kaspersky. It picks up viruses Norton never recognizes if it fails then you can always restore your computer to factory settings.
