The virii:

Adware.Cydoor
Adware.Gator
Adware.Keenval
SecurityRisk.Downldr

have been detected by my Norton '04 Antivirus program, yet the program doesn't / cannot delete em. My antivirus software is constantly updated, but i mean whats the use of having antivirus sware that doesnt and cannot delete virii???

Any of you know how i can clean these up?

before someone comes in with the actual solution, can I just say how much I appreciate someone using the correct plural term for "Virus"

sounds a bit fiddly, but here's the first one to get you started:

checked those out, the just of it is: Run LiveUpdate, Scan for and delete the virus... which FAILS. Sigh. What a pain in the rear.

At least a couple of those programs listed in the OP are spyware- Spybot Search and Destroy should take care of them.
You should be aware that some of these were installed when you you downloaded and installed some free internet program (e.g. Kazaa) and such programs may no longer function with the spyware removed... anyway Spybot does a good job of explaining this kind of stuff.

They are wonderful little programs that piggyback a download. You may have to manually delete them. Firstly look in your startup files and run msconfig. They are a pain in the proverbial OS. Best of luck.

if the AV doesn't delete/remove them restart in safe mode and run the AV again.

i always get things that won't delete... in safe mode everything cleans
