Malwarebytes is essential - it's the most powerful anti-malware tool in existence and can detect deep-rooted infections that even the best AV's cannot detect. It's completely free and you should run it ASAP.

Look, il let you in a small thing
I my self am a pretty big fan of AVG for now
But i do have a relative that is a huge fan of Norton, he has it on all his PCs, and Norton them self give him a free copy of it, for helping around and for reports and so on

How ever, some time ago he had Adware (was pretty clear when any not SSA site is full of ads on ever click), i run a scan with Norton and did not find anything
I run Malewarebyets and it found the malware got rid of it in a moment

I do not know if norton has a problem with that spsfic virus, how ever, that just taken me not to trust it for malware.. even that maybe i will trust it for virus, so i do recommend you try Malwarebyets and see if it finds any thing that Nortun may have missed
