On Sept. 8, Virus "Trojan.ADH.exe.2" was detected on my iMac OS x10.8.2 and repair failed. How do I remove the Trojan Hors?
With my Norton Internet Security software I am not able to remove the infection.
Your help will be appreciated.

That is a Windows trojan. It cannot in any way affect your Mac.
As to why Norton won't remove it, I don't know. Perhaps it is attached to an e-mail message, in which case anti-virus software shouldn't remove it, as doing so will corrupt the mailbox that message is in. Where does Norton say the file is?
BTW, note that Norton is well-known for being a cause of problems on the Mac. I would recommend that you remove it. To protect yourself against malware, first read my Mac Malware Guide, and then if you still want anti-virus software, use only one of the ones that guide recommends.
