I use Spyware Doctor.
I disabled it at start-up and the Norton reported virus of Backdoor
Graybird di not appear!
When I enabled Spyware Doctor after booting I got the Norton Alert!
Are Spyware Doctor and Spysweeper using the same databases?
I'll report my findings to Spyware Doctor.
Thanks,
Malcolm

Without going into a lot of redundant info; I too have encountered the same
conditions on both of my PCs
desktop (win XP-Pro) w/NAV 2004 & SpySweeper 4
laptop (win XP-Home) w/NAV 2005 & Spysweeper 3.5

The desktop NAV shows mc29.tmp being deleted;
the laptop NAV shows mc21.tmp.

Disabled Spyware Doctor from Startup and rebooted. No virus was detected
until I opened the program manually and immediately got the window Norton
found virus and deleted it.

I have been trying to solve this same problem today. Became suspicious
when NAV found it on both my laptop and desktop. It was not detected
on a 2nd desktop I have. Interestingly, the computers NAV detects it
on both run Spyware Doctor. The computer that boots cleanly does not
have Spyware Doctor on it. I am not going to worry about it for now
and hope the next NAV definitions fixes it.

Spyware Doctor replied to me saying ....

"Please be assured that Spyware Doctor does not contain a virus. This
appears to be a false detection resulting from the latest Norton
Antivirus Updates. We are currently investigating this. You may also
wish to contact Norton concerning this detection."

Over to Norton!!!
