Our post master Que (round of applause) warned us about it, and i got a free Anti-virus runing on my computer now. (yay) It's a nice A.V. it should cure your dad's computer.

you couldve run the remote virus checker on symantec's site.

As for norton anti virus not installing, if it's a corrupted download then you can always re-download again, as long as you kept your download link.

But more likely, the virus was simply preventing norton anti virus from installing as to preserve it's existence.
