Not aware of that specific one however for whaT IT IS worth, restart the pc in safe mode, download latest definitions from norton and try removal again. read the norton stuff and do a scan at boot up. this should solve it. If not try looking for a removal tool on the norton site.
hope that helps.
hope that helps.
Try AVG from www.grisoft.com - it found stuff on my PC that NAV didn't.

I just spent a couple of hours trying various solutions to get rid of 'req.dll'. Eventually I killed it (hopefully) with a combination of the following:
1. There was an executable file in the root C drive, named '1.exe'. This was responsible for installing the trojan, and I was able to delete it with no problems.
2. Logged in as Administrator in Safe Mode, I found I could not delete req.dll from its location in C:/Windows/System32 (got a warning message saying something like 'file in use, cannot delete'), but I was able to change the permissions so that only the administrator could do anything with it. I the rebooted (in Safe Mode, as administrator) and was able to delete the file.
3. Ran regedit, tracked down all the registry entries with req.dll in them (there were only a couple, used the Find facility to locate them) and removed them.
I'm not a techie, so there may be a much simpler way of doing the same thing, but the above approach worked for me. It seems strange that Norton Antivirus detected the trojan once it was active, but failed to stop it being downloaded onto my PC in the first place.
