i caught the virus after downloading a file from Morpheus, a file sharing network on the internet. after that, I got two messages which said that W32.Magistr.corrupt had been found and could not be repaired, the other saying that it could not be accessed. i ran a full virus scan and nothing came up. since then i haven't experienced any problems.
still, is there a patch or something to fix this virus just in case in infected my system? i'm a little worried because the file was never repaired, could not be accessed, and was not placed in quarantine.
here's a copy of the norton activity log:
