Trying to Run a Quick Scan brings me to the Help & Support window

I'm running internet security v15.0.0.60.

 

When I try to run a "Quick Scan" I am being brought to the "Help and Support" window for Norton Internet Security.  Also, the "Home" tab lists my computer as being "at risk" for virus and spyware - but when I click on it & select to fix it; I am being brought to the "help and support" window again.

 

In both cases, when I select to "start a support session"; the progress bar moves along & then says everythign completed - but the same behavior stated above remains.

 

I did have some nasty malware (smart virus and friends); which i used malwarebytes to remove (and appears to be gone) & I just want to make sure that norton is still firing as expected (to keep those viruses away).  I had started in safe mode and did a full scan for norton & didn't seem to find anything...  Also - task manager doesn't want to start up (which has me concerend that there is still something hanging around).

 

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Tom
