Disables virus checkers infects it seems random files so it seems.
Followed the instructions on Sophos anti virus web site. Rebooted and the damn thing was still there but only two files plus the registry editor infected. Told it restart in msdos mode so I could replace and delete the infected files and wham the virus did the payload and deleted some files so the machine wouldn't boot.
I thought stuff it, deleted the windows directory and programme files directory and left re-installing windoze from scratch. If it was a desktop pc I'd put the drive in another machine and cleaned it sadly it was a laptop no floppy and a broken norton system works.
Oh I forgot to mention Nortons have a different set of removal instructions from Sophos so I reckon Sophos have missed something.
