Trojan in Systemie.exe

Just after downloading the current updates from Norton, I got a message that
a trojan virus was detected in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Systemie.exe.
It was not able to quarantine or delete this file. Anyone know how to handle
this?

1) If you are using WinME or WinXP, disable System Restore

2) Please reboot your PC into Safe Mode
3) Perform a Full Scan of your platform and clean/delete any infectors found
4) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform
5) If you are using WinME or WinXP, re-enable System Restore, reboot the PC
6) If you are using WinME or WinXP, create a new Restore point
7) Please report back your results

Didn't have to go through all that. Was finally able to quarantine the 4
files. A rescan was clean.
