First time, I couldn't do anything and resorted to going through Norton themselves and they did the whole take over your computer for 100 bucks and repair it. He cleaned it all up but the idiot left the file that initiated the virus on my desktop and it quickly took over again after a few days.
I ended up just opening in safe mode and just transfer everything you need or care about off onto an external drive and reformatted. I then downloaded AVG and use them now. once you finished reformatting, connect the stuff you transferred to the external drive and scan it all w/ your new anti virus stuff before putting it back on.

Same thing happened to me, Shockwares. I have 360 and their Utilities ... they work good, especially the Utilities software, but 360 let that one slip through. They took over my computer as well, left something on my desktop ... message which kept trying to start an exe. file. Everytime I restarted my computer, it'd pop up on the screen saying it couldn't find that exe. file, which was the malware.
Someone recommended the free Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware program. I loaded it (its free) and within 10 seconds of starting Malwarebytes it took that message off my screen. I now update it at their site once a week + back up my computer once a month. So thumbs up on the malwarebytes software. Mac
