I think I got it from the IW, because after cleaning everything up I retried the IW, and Norton immediately started throwing warnings at me. I suggest anyone who has tried to access the IW in the past day have a good check.
I feel sorry for all the network people clearing this up, it took me 3 hours to get rid of it from 1 PC (luckily our home network wasn't connected up at the time). Somehow I managed to get 600+ infected files, which Norton AV to deleted, but Norton Utilities kindly put them in it's recovery file. Next time I scan I still have 600+ infected files - argggghhhhh.
