This is very good advice. Good stuff PM!
As usual I will give my simple laymans answer, PM is correct by saying that Norton, and most every AV. prog. will not give alerts regarding Quarantined files. Thus the reason for having a Log of them. Depending on the config. of you AV. you will more than likely know that the Virus exists, in a quarantined state.
I always pay attention to the log, as it will remind you of the actual source of the infection. It is quite easy (especially with my bong soaked memory), to forget about that one "COOL" site that originated my problems.
I also never settle for the "cannot be cleaned" messages I have received, and on more than one occasion have been able to google a removal option.
IMHO
Good luck.

Good info too Nihil. just as I always suspect Kazaa! Why do ppl. insist on using it with confidence. I have collected Virii. intentionally on my old beat ass Dell (spare), by installing Kazaa, and unleashing it without any Security. lol Pretty interesting actually, damn wanna buy a Kentucky Fried HD?
Get some good religion from Bad Religion.
