Hello Umesh,
Good old Norton is doing it again! What a waste of money that is.
When your Norton licence expires, I recommend that you purchase another trouble free application.
Now to ensure to delete the virus which Norton was supposed to protect you against...
Download, install and run Malwarebyte which you can find on this site:
https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/4621-malwarebytes-anti-malware/ es-anti-malware
Ensure you make an update.
Please request a FULL system scan, which may take from 20 minutes to hours. Do not interfere no matter how long in takes. The creators of Malwarebyte recommend that while the tool is running that you go do something else, such as watching a rerun of Gone with the Wind or read Tolstoy's War and Peace.
If Malwarebyte restarts your system, launch it again to finish the Full scan.
When the scan is completed, delete all items found.
Once your computer is clean and working normally just to be on the safe side
*Turn off system restore and wait 30 seconds,
*Turn it back on and create a new restore point.
This way it gets rid of anything bad that might have gotten saved in a restore point and you have a clean restore point to use in the near future if needed.
Do not turn it off until your computer is clean and working normally because you might need to use it if something goes wrong during the clean-up process.
It is better to go back to an infected restore point if something goes wrong then to not be able to undo changes that were damaging.
If you still experience any difficulties, please let me know. If not, your feedback will be appreciated.

Press Alt+Ctrl+Del and open up your task manager. Find where it says "Start New Process" or something to that effect and enter "explorer.exe" and hit ok. It should come back.
