    Well, at least it's isolated on a USB stick. Might be worth downloading Stinger and seeing what that throws up, I don't have much faith in Norton myself.

    Can you live without the files on the USB? If you don't find any way of fixing the issue, just format the stick and then run some more virus checks etc. to make sure it's OK.

    Where did you download the file from? Give your main PC a rub of an antivirus program too just in case. I assume the video file was on it at some stage...
