    What I want to know is do I have this virus still or did norton pick it up and fix it (said it repaired it)will it send to others,,,Also should I let him play that game or uninstall it get rid of it LOL
    Any help will be good I am doing a virus scan as I type this to be sure.
    Not familure with what norton does if its gets rid of it completly or will it still send out HELP

    If it said it was successful, I'd think it to be true? If a subsequent scan at Housecall comes up clean, you should be good to go. :D
