Problem: I tried to delete and it gives me the message: "Cannot Delete commgr32. Access is denied. Make sure…the file is not in use." So, I rebooted into Safe Mode and it gives me the same thing. Also, Outlook Express was on that PC, but I erased it some time ago, as I don't use that PC for e-mailing, so there is no current e-mail application on it.

Use Killbox to delete it. Following the previous instructions

The file to copy and paste isC:\WINDOWS\commgr32.dll
Then Post a fresh Hijackthis log and reply with the results

thanks bamajim

I think that may have done it; Norton is no longer frantically trying to scan any out going e-mails.
One question though, below it shows a couple of lines related to Norton that says (file missing), can I delete those thorugh Highjack?
