    You had Norton AND you had viruses at the same time???

    You need better protection.

    Avast Anti-virus(Freeware Edition) notifies you of a virus attack, and automatically sends the virus to quarantine, BEFORE it infects your computer.

    Dump Norton it failed to protect your computer.

    No. But it could have set the countdown back to how many days were left when your computer created the save point. That or the next time it connects to the update server it will notice it has expired.
