Sounds like Norton isn't doing its job if you scanned and it didn't pick
anything up:

NOTE that after so many executions, the script starts deleting files.

Maybe run this online scanner and see what it picks up:

Then I'd uninstall Norton (used to be good, lately just bloated and a
resource hog) and install a free AV program like AntiVir
(http://www.free-av.com/ ), AVG (http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1 ), or
similar.

Default RE: Folder option in tools menu is gone

Mostly caused by Spywares / Malwares. Do you have an Anti-Spyware installed?

To recover Folder Options, try the following link:

http://www.mindyourbrain.1gig.biz/Tr...lderoption.htm

Click the link "Missing Folder Option" or "No Folder Options in Control
Panel and Tools Menu" and Run the Registry fix.

May require you to Restart your PC.

Hope this help, let us know!
