Virus Alert E-Trust

Yesterday I did a System Cleanup and in that cleanup I did a Virus scan with Norton 
and E-Trust.

This is what E-Trust Found:
C:\_RESTORE\ARCHIVE\FS1504.CAB
C:\_RESTORE\ARCHIVE\FS835.CAB

Norton only found what it titled:
Trojan Dropper

And today I got a dialog box telling me that E-Trust found this:
Win32.Bettlnet.c
Location: C:\Windows\TEMP\RANDRECO.EXE

I tried follwing the path to delete anything I saw that had that name, but found 
nothing. I also tried using the search utility to search the Windows folder but nothing. 
Afterwards, I tried searching my whole Computer and still nothing.

Any help would be very appriciated.
Thanks.

Show Hidden Files, also disable Sytem Restore if it is turned on. If you use System Restore you can turn it back on after you get the computer cleaned up. I also used a boot disk with DELINDEX command added on a friends infected computer, and it seemed to help a lot. That helps delete a lot of hidden files. If You want to do that, just use Google to search for (DELINDEX). It will lead you to the site that you can download the file to add to your ME boot floppy.
