There was NOT a virus on the Norton install CD.
The virus (or trojan) was installed on YOUR PC.
When you ran NAV it detected and removed/quarantined the virus/trojan/worm BUT did
not correct the registry entry where it had placed a reference to it's exe file.
Thus, after the run you could no longer run anything.
BTW the file names are different because there are many virus/worm/trojans that just
generate a random file name.
If you ever see a missing file message or a reference to something that looks like
asefkieng, odds are excellent that you either were or are infected.
