false positives

Norton says I have trojan.vundo..... but I'm 90% sure I dont.
 
I did quickscan Norton said it removed it. I restarted the computer
It shows the message again. I go to Norton site and download FIXVUNDO.exe. It says it wasn't on my computer. I restart the computer.
It still shows up. I can't do system restore b/c norton wanted me to turn it off before I ran Fix.exe thereby deleting past checkpoints. 
 
When is this going to stop? How can I rectify this problem? Any suggestions would be helpful.
 
 
 
Excuse my rant...........Isn't Norton supposed to auto-protect me from stuff like this....darn it
I'll try McAfee next time...

    Hi,
     
    Norton can be a REAL problem child. Just to give you a little insight. University of Oregon is one of the most connected campuses in the world and had been using Norton campus wide for a couple of years.
     
    Not anymore...
     
    University of Oregon has cancelled their contract with Norton due to numerous problems with Norton antivirus software.
     
    So don't feel bad about junking Norton, you're not alone.
     
    Word of caution. Norton embeds itself DEEPLY into your system and make sure you do a complete uninstall and then check to make sure all of its various tentacles have been removed.
