if it does not remove the virus , remove norton, and install another AV

It looked much worse than it really was. I ran Norton 360 and never saw it again! Ran MBAM just in case, it found nothing. I think it was just something to scare you into purchasing from them. The user coul dnot close out of the popups. Thanks!
