Norton found a Trojan.Brisv.A!inf virus that affects two files that I needed
to manually remove. One of the files I deleted with no problem, but I cannot
delete the other file (both MP3 Files) no matter WHAT I try!! Please help so
that I can delete this file!! I have searched posts, and nothing I try will
allow me to delete this MP3 File. Thx in advance!!

Try in Safe Mode if you haven't.

Scan your computer with these 2 Programs.
Do it in Safe Mode if necessary, including scanning with Norton again.
All info below:

http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html

Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program.
Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it.
Then SCAN with it.
Update it, and scan your System once a fortnight.

Malwarebytes is as the name says, a Malware Remover!
For the Free version scroll down their page to either download from
Download.com, or Major Geeks.com

Download, install, and update.

Important re: Safe Mode
If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot
the computer, and go into Safe Mode.
To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow
key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER.
RESCAN your computer with your Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes and Spybot S & D
while in Safe Mode.
