Bloodhound isn't necessarily a virus. If Norton's "Bloodhound" technology finds a suspicious piece of code in a file it names it something like "Bloodhound.exploit.13" or similar. Remember Norton have a vested interest in frightening people. It can't remove it because it probably isn't a virus. Download free Antivirus software from Grisoft.com or www.free-av.com or similar and see if the virus still appears. You can delete the file yourself hold down shift and press delete in Windows explorer when the file is highlighted or leave it in quarantine.

Lots of computer users refer to the "Bloodhound Virus" like it is a specific thing - as in "How do I remove the Bloodhound Virus"? While we may know what they mean, what they are asking is technically incorrect. "In reality, a 'Bloodhound Virus' is spyware" Bloodhound is a technology that was developed by Symantec. It has the ability to detect various types of viral activity using heuristic algorithms. (techno mumbo jumbo for "symptom search") Think of it like going to the doctor - you may have a symptom like red spots on your back. It could be measles, allergies, or just mosquito bites. The doctor knows its not normal and by asking a few questions can get a better idea of whether or not its serious and how to treat it. Bloodhound works in much the same way, sniffing around looking for something that isn't quite right. Sometimes what it finds is no big deal, but usually its something harmful and sometimes it is extremely serious for your computer. The latest nasty spyware compounds the problem by executing certain actions that are virus-like. Bloodhound notices the abnormalities and assumes that the file is harmful (which it is) and identifies it as an unknown virus and the Norton Antivirus program reports it as one of a large list of virus names such as: Bloodhound.AOLPWS Bloodhound.Boot Bloodhound.Boot.String Bloodhound.DirActCOM Bloodhound.DirActEXE Bloodhound.ExcelMacro Bloodhound.ExcldFile Bloodhound.FileString Bloodhound.Hybrid Bloodhound.HybridCOM Bloodhound.HybridEXE Bloodhound.MBR Bloodhound.NeuralBoot Bloodhound.NeuralMBR Bloodhound.Poly Bloodhound.ResCOM Bloodhound.ResEXE Bloodhound.Unknown Bloodhound.VBS.Worm Bloodhound.W32 Bloodhound.W32.EP Bloodhound.W32.1 Bloodhound.W32.2 Bloodhound.W32.3 Bloodhound.WordMacro Bloodhound.ExcelMacro Bloodhound.VBS.1 (probable IRC worm) Bloodhound.VBS.2 (probable IRC worm) Bloodhound.VBS.3 (probable Outlook worm) Bloodhound.VBS.4 (probable VBS worm, created with worm generation tool) Bloodhound.VBS.5 (probable VBS worm, created with worm generation tool) Bloodhound.JS.1 (probable IRC worm) Bloodhound.JS.2 (probable IRC worm) Bloodhound.JS.3 (probable Outlook worm) To further complicate the issue, Bloodhound.AOLPWS (the first one in the list) is actually a Trojan Horse program (A program that claims to do something useful white it's actually allowing your computer to do nasty things for a hacker). To date there is about 30 different names that this file can be called on your machine. So, in reality a "Bloodhound Virus" is spyware that Norton knows is bad for your computer. So, how do you remove the Bloodhound Virus? If you are comfortable following instructions that include phrases like... These Trojans can load from the registry, and they need to be removed from the \Run key:" "We strongly recommend that you back up the system registry before making any changes. Incorrect changes to the registry could result in permanent data loss or corrupted files. Please make sure you modify only the keys specified." then you may want to tackle this. Simply do a search and follow the instructions from a trusted source. If you have no idea what the registry is PLEASE - DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. You run the risk of doing serious damage to your computer and are dealing with a problem that is way out of your league. Seek professional support to remove problems identified by bloodhound.

If you have McAfee, I recommend that you uninstall it. I used to have McAfee and if it detects a virus, it will quarantine it, but not delete it. You're better off installing Symantec or Norton 360.
Some information about the Bloodhound sniffer virus is available via the Related link shown below.
Go to My Computer>C>Program Files and in there find a folder related to your old anti-virus program. I.e. Norton, Symantec, etc. In this folder there should be another folder called Quarantine. Single click on the quarantine file, hold down shift on your keyboard and hit the delete key. This will permanently delete the folder, including all of the quarantined files inside.
It goes in "Quarantine" in quarantine, the virus can't harm the computer, and you can go to quarantine, and it will have all of your infected files, and tell you the name of the virus that's infecting the file, and you can delete the infected files.
Delete all files in the "temp" folders
Hopefully you have some anti-virus software. Update the software to the latest version and it will be able to at least quarantine it.
If Your Norton is not deleteing viruses, then you will need to delete norton and reinstall and update it through the norton updates then run it. If you do this you should be able to then delete the viruses, if this does not work, you will need to format and reload windows.
You need a certain Anti-Virus Software, that allows you to either quarantine or delete malicious software on your computer.
