Can anyone explain this virus message i've been getting?

Whatever this xi.exe is it is always gone by the time I hit OK on the Norton message. It usually appears in the Space Empires directory but I've seen it else wheere. Complete systems scans always reveal 0 viruses. ???

Based on the description I don't think I have this virus. What I don't get is why the file xi.exe does not exist on my computer. Norton seems to occasionally detect as in the message but when I (or Norton) tries to delete it, it is gone. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif
