Recently, my auto-protect in Norton AV 2004 detected a threat called Bloodhound.Exploit.6, and the actions taken were Access denied & Repair failed. I can see the log in the Log Viewer but the quarantine area does not show this threat/virus at all. In view of that, I quickly updated my virus definintion files, scanned the whole system again but nothing was found. How would I be able to remove this Bloodhound.Exploit.6, or how would I also know if it really is in my system?

It looks like Norton took care of it for you and you need not worry. Check your settings to see how the application handles quarantine.

You might set LiveUpdate to renew you virus definitions at boot up to save yourself the trouble of manual up-dating after the event! ;)

Bloodhound is a generic name that Norton gives to otherwise unnamed threats identified by heuristic scanning. In other words, it found something suspicious but doesn't know exactly what it is. You can delete file identified, but exercise caution. Deletion probably will have to be done in safe mode.
