After some digging on the net, there appear to be two schools of thought:

1) It is a false positive from Norton:

Are you using Norton 360, or some other Norton product?

2) It is a haxdoor variant:

I usually use Unhackme to get rid of rootkits:

What makes you believe you are infected?  What av/symptoms?
