I tried what Symantec suggested. I went to
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
but Spyware Nuker Installer was not there. So I could not delete it.
This is why I am trying to get some help from you. Every week when
Symantec scans my computer it always comes up with SpywareNuker, but
when I try and delete it, nothing happens. Next week it comes up
again.  I'm not sure if this is going to hurt me, but I don't like
something coming up that I do not want. Please try and help. Thank
you. Bill

have you tried looking in to your task manager is it even there?Also
goto  search and find this file. If you located the file then restart
your computer and Hold F8 button before your computer boots up safe
mode and go delete this file from there. Since this spyware goes
though the network so i recommand you turning on your firewall that
will prevent it from coming back. IF that spyware took out your
windows firewall i would suggest you get Zonealram  from
http://www.zonelabs.com there's a free verison it will block bad
traffic that is trying to get in.

delete the program directory/program if possible. before deleting, you
might want to launch task manager (ctrl-alt-delete) and closing the
program (on xp go to processes tab)
