I would call Symanted and yell. That message is just telling you that Norton's "bloodhound" misfeature found a change in your MBR. NOT that it's a virus named "bloodhound". If it's a recent copy of Norton then double-shame on them; this is an old problem with norton and was one of the many reasons I purged it from my systems long ago.
