I scaned my computer, and found a trojan horse in my computer, i think thats why i can't opne my task manager and the "msconfig" thing. Norton can't fix this... what can I do? If i reformat my HDD will that get rid of it?

thx in advance

But is there any other way?

Boot into safe mode (F8), and manually find the file, and delete it. Or run Norton in safe mode, and see if that workds.
