I was running Adaware with the latest updates, and got a Norton Antivirus
Pop up that it had found
C:\windows\system32\apihookdll.dll pws.hooker.trojan
I could not repair the file with NAV and could not close the popup unless I
used task manager.
I did a google and found out this is a keylogger.
Did a full scan with NAV it found the virus and could not repair it but
quarantined it.
The symantec site had this info for removal
Click Start, and then click Run. (The Run dialog box appears.)
1.. Type regedit
Then click OK. (The Registry Editor opens.)
2.. Navigate to the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
3.. In the right pane, delete the following value:
"kernel32"="C:\%System%\kern32.exe"
4.. Click Registry, and click Exit.
5..
I could not find that file.
Ran a full trojan scan with The Cleaner and it did not find anything.
Am I now rid of the problem since it was quarantined by NAV, or do I need
to take some further steps?

This is the first virus or trojan I had found in about 3 years.
