I have loaded Norton 360 on computers already affected with malware/viruses and was able to perform a full scan and clean up the hard drives with no problem. However, you may encounter preexisting malware/viruses which are more pervasive and may hamper Norton’s ability to operate. These would have to be removed manually.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for reaching out and sorry to hear that your device is infected with malware/virus. We recommend you use Norton Power Eraser first. You can download power eraser to remove the virus/malware and then install Norton 360. https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20100824120155EN Hope this helps and if you need support with Norton Power Eraser or setting up your Norton 360 please reach out to www.norton.com/support.
