I was surfing the net, and suddenly a msg appeared related
to Norton Antivirus and something about disabling a
script...The computer just went crazy constantly flashing
this msg box...I could do nothing except turn off the
power. When I restarted, as soon as windows starts I get a
msg that Explorer performed an illegal operation and will
be shut down. When I click on details I see that invalid
page fault message "Explorer caused an invalid page fault
in module MS.DLL at 017F: 61C05319". I click close and the
msg same msg returns...over and over and over...I can't do
anything. I was able to restart into safe mode. I ran
Norton AV and it found one virus 'msdownloader.cache'
which it put into quarantine. I rebooted back into normal
mode but the same explorer page fault exists. HELP!

Have you looked on Symantec's site for the virus details?
You don't seem to have got rid of it if you still have MS.DLL

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Symantec names it, Downloader.MSCache.
