    I have the above virus detected by SEP. When SEP attemts to clean it it cannot clean c:/system volume information/Microsoft/services.exe and smss.exe, as these are in use.

    I have tried turning system restore on & off in both noramll and safe mose. I have tried using the unlocker sotware reccommneded in athore symatec forum. But I still have them. I cannot delete them as winlogon.exe uses these services.

    So far SEP has failed to clean this virus. Any ideas?

    I would try removing the threat with the SERT tool. See


    How To Use the Symantec Endpoint Recovery Tool with the Latest Virus Definitions

    Go to 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    Check the vale of Userinit 
    Change i back to C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,
    If anything else is present

    Try deleting the files in Safe Mode.
    Use Systinternals Autoruns and find what all places it is hooked and remove\Delete those entries.
