The only thing that I can think of is to boot into Safe Mode and rerun the scans and see if this time you get a hit.

If Norton's picks up something and is unable to remove it you will at least have a name to work with which should be listed at the Symantec Web Site and they may have a tool that is available to remove your problem but without a name it's impossible to even know where to start looking for a cure.
