See what Symantec says about it here.

I would recomend installing the latest norton anti-virus software and running a full network scan. See if this solves the problem, if this doesn't work, go to DSlreports using the link in my signature and post in the security forum.

I turned on the computer and a screen poped up saying Theres a virus. It could not repair it, so it gave me the option to quarantine it. Which I did. It said it came in on a backdoor and the location is in the window system. wininetd.exe. Can someone tell me if I need to do more then quarantine it? Can I delete it or will I be deleting something I may need? Since I have dail-up  and was not hooked up and was not on the computer all day how could I get this? Last night we were on, and the computer did a virus definition update but we noticed nothing else. I did a complete virus scan on my computer after the quarantine and  everything was fine.

If you quarantined that virus, before disabling your system restore, you should find a second  wininetd.exe file, you will need to delete, after your disable your system restore,  before you follow removal instructions at the symantec site.

Also you may want to post back after you delete the 2 virus infected files and do the symantec removeal, to run sfc from dos to check your wins system files.
