I deleted Winnt\system32\Cuirsor to get rdi of a Norton Antivirus detected IRC Trojan virus. In deleting the entire folder, I no longer receive the IRC Trojan messages, but I still get the "System error: Unable to open dialog" messages that started at the same time. Is someone trying to get into my PC? And could someone please offer help for the Unable to open dialog messages. Exactly what is the message telling me?
