It's a false positive. WideFS is scrambled, there's no code Norton can test, only random patterns.

If Norton has quarantined it you won't be able to run it, will you? You'll need to tell Norton it's okay after all.

I might be wrong here but i think something else is going on.

 

MH690.A is a known threat.

I think the issue is that he is affected by a virus and some or all of this go will away by removing it.
