i tried booting in safe mode and then norton antivirus wouldnt open!

i searched up further on this virus and it said that it only affects those
who play the online game 'the legend of mir 2' stealing their passwords..

should i feel relieved since i dont play this game..

would it still be a threat to my computer?
