In response to post #7634227. #7634317, #7634389 are all replies on the same post. If you have a paid Norton version, I highly recommend you use it at least until the subscription runs out. I don't care much for paid AV myself because I don't consider them significantly better then the free ones, BUT to my knowledge they generally DO perform better. And after all, as you describe it, it was actually able to catch the malware. Oh and when/if your changing to a free one, don't pick MSE. It doesn't perform well at most test. I'd say go for Avast or AVG.
