I keep getting this pop-up from Norton saying that they discovered a trojan (Win32.Zaf.b) in the system, but i cant locate it anywhere. I've gone through every folder and sub folder looking for it. I know what trojans are and i know some are more dangerous than others, but im not sure how to tell if i need take it in to get it looked at or if i need to just download something. Someone please help.

Got this from a web site.
Win32.Zafi.b is a name of a threat that you may see in a faked security alert message. This message mostly appears with Perfect Defender 2009, that is rogue application, infection. Why infection? Cause this program by showing fake security alerts tries to force users into purchasing of nonworking program. Win32.Zafi.b worm spreads via infected video codec's and file sharing networks. The bad side of this “goodie” is the ability to disable antivirus and other security products on user’s computer increasing possibility of infection. To avoid problems that Win32.Zafi.b can bring we highly recommend you to use reliable anti-spyware.
