So, my flash drive is infected, and even though Nortons blocks it's initial attack when I plug it in, it dissapears afterwords, leaving no trace except for a file curiously labled "1" with no extension. And Norton's doesn't percieve it as a threat. How would I remove it?

Format it if there's nothing important.
Right click > Format.

If you reformat it then its all gone, poof. Now if there is something. Get a linux live, boot it, get the shit off. Virus cannot hurt linux.

If it's something people might search for in the future for guidance or solutions, make a new thread.
