my computer say this C:\Documents and Settings…\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\Default User\9tri827w.slt\Cache\_CACHE\_002  
is infected …  
Norton can’t fix it. Can i delete the cache\_002 file without harming my computer ?

Yeah should be fine to delete, it’s just a Cashe file, it’s not any kind of system file so it should be ok 🙂

You can just clear you cashe within Firefox anyway 😉

Clear cookies and files. Done. Might want to check just incase it re-duplicates.

go into safe mode, close all instances of firefox, and delete those virii

turn off firefox cache or make it small, you must have been visiting some naughty sites to catch something like that :lol:
