Ramsomlock!g47 Not stopped by Norton

Message on pop up said "norton blocked attempted, etc". But trojan activated and fake FBI screen popped up.

 

Why did it get through?

 

Thanks

Please try to create Norton Bootable Recovery tool from any other computer in Cd/DVD. Then boot your computer using the CD/DVD and run a full system scan:

Check if this detects any threats.
