Not sure Symantec will like this on their forum
But you are in need. We have not had good luck with SEP dealing with trojans (I don't know how well Norton does). We use Simply Super Software Trojan Remover (http://www.simplysup.com/tremover/download.html). Download it, install it, update it, reboot into Safe Mode, run it. Works great for us.
My sincere apologies to Symantec for posting this...just trying to help someone.
Call Support
These kind of outbreaks cannot be resolved in forums as it will nned submission and load point analysis.So i would request you to call support it will not take more than an hour to get out of this mess.
VMWARE-- SEP 12.1 vs McAfee vs Trend Micro
Its kinda standard. Remove
Its kinda standard. Remove machines off network, scan in safe mode, use removal tools and patch all OS and Apps to the latest level. If SEP still doenst detect it, you might wanna submit samples to Support so that they can create rapidrelease defs
search thoroughly the machine
search thoroughly the machine for any unwanted exe's still running or not, and also disable system restore and run a full scan in safe mode after updating your windows and A/V software, if this still doesnt work then you should immediately call support, they will resolve the issue surely ASAP.
Version needed
Please let me know what version of Norton you are using?
Please update the operating system patch from Microsoft reguarly. Only antivirus cannot give you 100% protection.
For vundo please download the removal tool from:

you should update your protection manager through rapid release ".jdb" file & run a full scan of your pc. I think this will solve your problem.

I agree with Samiron7567.
I agree with Samiron7567. Yes, you can try with rapid release update by downloading manually from the Symantec web site and then run full scan from Safe Mode as well as Normal Mode by disconnecting the computer form the network.
Where do you get...
...a 'rapid release ".jdb" file' ??
NO, Pls use .exe file and run
NO,
Pls use .exe file and run the same on the client machine, scan the machne in safe mode with system restore Off.
