Recently My comp got infected Virus through an infected pendrive.
The pendrive had these file on it
New Folder.exe
MS32DLL.dll.vbs
Autorun.Inf
Now Norton called a Virus a W32.Svich ( personally i prefer to call it a real pain in the butt :) )
More information about this worm can be found at

Well Now comes the part for fixing the problem.
well couple of things can actually resolve this issue.
now when i left clicked on the drive and choose scan for virus... Norton did not detect it however when the virus started acting up on my comp that when it managed to detect it.
So Yes, Norton does detect this Virus
Now a not a lot of you actually use norton.
so here is another fix for this problem. ( for people who don't use norton )
if you have internet access you can actually do an online scan from http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan/
which also detects the virus
or download avg from the same site or click on http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Please make sure you download the Virus definitions if you are downloading the spyware program.
Also You can download the virus Definitions from
