Thank you for your answer.
If you have installed Norton Mobile Security on your device, you can check the activity log to see if Norton had detected it on your system.
Norton has active malware protection and also protects your browsing in the internet. I cannot say if a specific threat can be detected by any given security app. As always, the best defense is safe browsing practices. Do not use 3rd party app stores as they are not as secure.

How do Android devices become infected?
We found traces of the Gooligan malware code in dozens of legitimate-looking apps on third-party Android app stores. These stores are an attractive alternative to Google Play because many of their apps are free, or offer free versions of paid apps. However, the security of these stores and the apps they sell aren’t always verified. Gooligan-infected apps can also be installed using phishing scams where attackers broadcast links to infected apps to unsuspecting users via SMS or other messaging services.
I've installed Norton Mobile Security and did some scans: no threats detected. Like even, seen Gooligan, a new virus and the magnitude of the phenomenon, I wondered about the protection of my device. How can I know that a simple visit to a merchant site has not transmitted a virus on my phone? Is Norton capable of recognizing a new malicious intervention?

Have you installed Norton Mobile Security, or any other security product on your device?
requested thread be moved to Mobile board for better exposure.
@zW3isteine: I kindly suggest that you:
update your "Norton Security and Antivirus" in no time > scan your device when ready.
For more info, you may Chat with Norton Support and/or have a close look at Norton Virus Protection Promise if you think you are infected.
Please post back if this or any other comment fix your concerns. THX...
