Stacey,



By searching google, it seems to be a virus; But the information found 
through Google is that the virus is named "Randex.Gen" and that Norton 
can detect it.

   (This information is from
http://www.mcse.ms/archive118-2004-4-618750.html)

   The Symantec page for Randex.Gen is here: 
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.randex.gen.html

Since your version of Norton does not seem to detect a virus, perhaps 
you should upload the file to AVERT WebImmune 
https://www.webimmune.net/default.asp for a full analysis.

Kaspersky labs's free online virus scan at 
http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus.html works much the same way but 
does not require registration.



Hope this helps,
