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....
