When I try to click on an icon on my desktop, it jumps. Could this be a virus? If so, how do I find it? I am running Norton 2001, but it is not dectecting a virus? How can I find the virus if I don't know what it is?

Sounds like I-Worm.Magistr. Check this site out. http://www.viruslist.com/eng/viruslist.asp?id=4170&key=00001000130000100067.

This virus has been around since mid-March. You should check at least weekly for updates to your anti-virus program.
