Hi allguts,

Follow the instructions given at Symantec:

Symantec: PWSteal.Trojan:
"Symantec has created an <interactive tutorial> to help you remove this Trojan."
"Note: Steps 1 to 3 will work in many cases, and should be tried
first. However, with some variants of this Trojan, particulaly if the
Trojan has run, additional steps may be required.
   1. Disable System Restore (Windows Me/XP).
   2. Update the virus definitions.
   3. Restart the computer in Safe mode or VGA mode.
   4. Run a full system scan and delete all the files detected as 
PWSteal.Trojan."
