Norton is a notoriously horrible piece of software. It's often worse than
having nothing at all, since it gets killed and screws up so often, but
gives you a false sense of security. Every intelligent piece of malware
(About 95% of them) kills Norton without breaking a sweat. Norton pops up
annoying, interrupting messages when it thinks something is wrong. Its
scans take 10 times as long as they really need to.

Heck, use the online scan just to make sure:
