Hmm yeah it can and usually does im not that familliar with norton though if you want a great free anti-virus Avast is great it even does boot time scans that means before viruses can start up their protective shield that may hide it, Avast scans
Yes, Norton does offer an online virus scan for your personal computer. Its a free service that automatically scans your computer so you do not have to perform this manually.
As many files as you have on your computer
Do a full virus scan with Norton to check if your computer is totally secure.
Once you have installed Norton 360, you will be prompted to restart your computer. Upon restart, Norton 360 runs automatically. You can check for options to perform a scan and look for viruses. However, Norton 360 will ensure web protection as soon as the computer is connected to the internet.
If you want to destroy your computer virus then scan and destro it using the Anti-virus software like COMODO,Norton,AVAST etc..

Norton Antivirus is Symantec's full version antivirus program. Norton Security Scan is offered by Symantec & Google and is a free version of Norton's popular antivirus, however, it does not include real-time scanning. Norton Security Scan does receive free Virus Definition updates and will scan & remove any existing viruses on your computer, however, you still will not have any real-time protection.
Get a good antivirus such as Norton 360, restart your computer, do a scan to further minimize crashes get norton systemworks and do an error check
There are several computer software packages that can remove viruses. Depending on the specific virus, one could try Norton Anti-Virus products, or McAfee.
If you have McAfee, I recommend that you uninstall it. I used to have McAfee and if it detects a virus, it will quarantine it, but not delete it. You're better off installing Symantec or Norton 360.
The 1st thing, you need to do, is getting your Norton Antivirus uptodate. After you done that, start your computer in Save Mode and do a complete system-scan with your Norton Virusscanner. Good luck, Jahewi :-)
