I wanted to say: Try McAfee stinger. Works also when Norton is
active.. no problems...but Stinger does not recognize Redlof.A yet as
it seems on http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ (may 12th)
If you want to test if your scanner is überhaupt working well, try:

Panda recognizes VBS Redlof.A, bit defender-, rav & Trend online scan
are also options to check your system online:

<Norton>
BS.Redlof.A is a polymorphic, encrypted, Visual Basic Script virus
that infects the .html, .htm, .asp, .php, .jsp, and .vbs files on all
the drives. Depending on the location of the Windows System folder,
the virus copies itself to either %Windir%\System\Kernel.dll or
%Windir%\System\Kernel32.dll. It changes the default association for
the .dll files.
Note: Virus definitions dated prior to February 12, 2004 detect this
threat as HTML.Redlof.A.
