trojan in file?

Actually, I just checked my settings and I don't have it set to
delete, even though the NAV message said it was deleted. I looked in
the backup of quarantined items and the file is there. What do you
suggest I do with it, if anything?

I am still wondering if what I did before this virus alert, (described
below), could have caused NAV to think it found a Trojan?

Well, I did get e-mail back from Symantec which is quoted below: This
does not answer my question as to how the infected file came to reside
on my computer when I have NAV running all the time and always have
the latest definitions????
There seems to be no way to get Symantec to answer a question like
this without paying big bucks for phone support. It's unfortunate as
I have been happy for years thinking NAV was preventing infections,
but it seems to have failed big time here! I wonder what this Trojan
would have eventually done if I had not run a manual scan of the whole
computer yesterday?

filename: istinstall_si.exe
machine: DEFUALT-7LSOD9B
result: This file is infected with Download.Trojan

Developer notes:
C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\Quarantine\4CB4206C is a container
file of type NAV_QUARANTINE
istinstall_si.exe is non-repairable threat. NAV with the latest
rapidrelease definition detects this. Please delete this file and
replace it if neccessary. Please follow the instruction at the end of
this email message to install the latest rapidrelease definitions.
This file is contained by C:\Program Files\Norton
AntiVirus\Quarantine\4CB4206C

McAfee 8 is the same way, lastest updates, do daily scans...it does not find
all viruses. When I press Alt-Ctrl-Del and see programs running i do not
recognize I "find" the file and usually delete it to the recycle bin. And
internet explorer seems to always have a different start page, even though I
set it to about:blank.

Well there does not seem to be much information available as to
exactly what embioso.exe is and does. Symantec describes it as an
"extended threat of unknown type, possibly adware".

I removed it from the windows\system32 folder, but it keeps coming
back? What's up with that?? I then installed winpatrol which alerts
me every time embioso tries to add itself to startup. At least I can
control it this way, but how do I prevent it from reappearing in the
windows\system32 folder?
