"Bloodhound" is a generic name applied to a threat detected by Norton's
heuristic engine. It probably requires identifying the exact infected file,
and sending it to the Symantec submissions address for further evaluation.
There are instructions for submission on the Symantec site; basically you
have to put the executable suspect file in a password protected zip file. I
believe there is a specific filename that Symantec is expecting, something
like "submission.zip", but check the site. The password to use when zipping
the file is, "infected".

The last time I submitted a suspect file, one that had passed the NAV 2003
definitions that were just ten hours old, Symantec responded about ten
minutes later with a link to new definitions that identified the bugger as,
"Trojan.Download.Inor.B".
