Does Norton automatically detect powelik

I just read about the powelik Trojan and of course I was curious about whether I am automatically protected.

I can't find that information.

Forum searches are all "help, I can't remove powelik".

Internet searches talk about special rootkit scanners etc.

Why doesn't semantic have a place that says one of

  1. If you have a Norton product it will scan the registry and fairly reliably detect the Trojan
  2. You must download xxx and check your computer with xxx since Norton products don't do this.

The same is true of other AV products I tried the search for.

I know there are legal  implications in promising protection, but surely some sort of answer should be possible.

 

Thanks
