The IED.EXE file is stored in a CAB (compressed cabinet file) usually held in the tempory internet files folder. Because the file is stored within another, Norton cannot repair or delete the file. Removal is simply a case of locating the CAB file specified by Norton and deleting it. I recently had my W98 box upgraded to XP Pro SP2. During this process I also had most of my old files transferred over. I guess one of these must have been infected bacause after running Norton AV (latest virus pack), it found the infected file "ied.exe" in a cabinet file "ied_s7m.cab" in the root directory of my c: drive. Yes, Norton could not fix, quarantine, or delete this file,..so I did what seems to be the concensus,..I deleted it. (I took a route that also seems to have some support, rather than just draging and dropping,..I started up in safe-mode, then dragged and dropped it,....which in retrospect doesn't any different than doing it during a usual startup) Haven't had any problems as of yet, i.e., the .cab file doesn't seem to be necessary nor is it linked with the registry in some way that my deleting it is causing problems....

I always use Norton AntiVirus and Symantec. Don't trust programs like Windows Fast AntiVirus.

Trojan.avalert is a Trojan Horse program that displays fake Windows and antivirus security messages plus links to websites that are corrupted. From what I have read from the Norton Security Community forums, Norton cannot remove Trojan.avalert.
These are fake antivirus programs, usually Norton misses such malware. Use MalwareBytes or SUPERAntispyware instead.
Dropper.small is a Trojan downloader

Generally, one should avoid getting a Trojan dropper. It is a virus that can cause a lot of damage to a computer. One would need an virus removal program to get rid of it.

A Trojan virus is a virus that pretends its something great, but when you open it, its really something bad. I never heard of a Trojan antivirus though
An antivirus is a program that automatically detects and removes or quarantines all forms of virus, malware, Trojan, spyware etc from your PC. Some examples are Immunet Plus, AVG, Avira, Comodo, MSE etc.
