No it will not. Norton is just really bad overall. I would suggest you just reformat the entire system to make sure the virus is wiped for good first. This will ensure the virus is gone for good as well as any other virus you may have. Before you do, I would suggest you back up your important files. You can do so with a device known as an IDE/SATA to USB Adapter (google “BT-300 topmicrousa”). This device works really well in situations like these because you are able to back up files without going through the operating system (the thing the virus is running on). It transfers files at speeds around 480mbps which is insanely fast. Its fast, efficient, and durable.
After you are done backing up all of your files, reformat the hard drive, then recopy the files.
Best of luck.
