Quarantine means that the virus had been detected and locked away so it cannot infect your computer. To remove it from quarantine go to:

START > Programs > Norton Antivirus > Quarantine.

Then delete the item from quarantine.

Or you can just ignore it. If the virus is in quarantine it can not harm your computer.

To be on the safe side though run your LiveUpdate (START>Programs>Norton Antivirus> Liveupdate) and also run a Windows update for all Critical Updates and patches ( go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com )

EDIT: To get into Safe Mode on Win XP restart the PC and hit F8 until you get a Text Menu. Select Safe Mode on this Menu

Cheers,
