Hm, seems to be a “wrong” Virusname. What is the exact one?
But anyway he should be able to delete the Virus in Safemode, IMO he should use Kaspersky for that.

It seems it’s again bad virus name (win32 should be prefix in this case), please try to find out the exact name.

Hi shoreracing,
maybe you could decide on a name once and for all ?
“Backdoor.winet” or “backdoor.net ” ??
(the 2nd one isn’t listed in Symantec)
→ then the Symantec-AV-Center will give you all the instructions you need…
or your just reread the postings above…
