  You should:

  1. tell your bank, etc (as applicable) of the credit card company what happened quickly.

  2. using another PC to your change all passwords quickly.

  3. you were common sense with the need to reinstall Windows because it's the ony way be sure & confident of getting a clean PC. However, make sure that do you a clean reinstall of Windows (involving a format your hard disks) rather than a repair reinstall.

  4. don't forget to consider all the drives (disks internal additional, external hard drives, USB thumb drives, etc.) as potentially infected if they were connected at the time or a moment any since. Unplug them until your PC is up and running with anti-malware real-time protection and a firewall work and then analyze them with a minimum of 2 reputable anti-malware programs (there is a degree of risk of reinfection in that).

  5 consider speaking to the police.

  Since your security protection comes through Norton, you should seek the help of Norton in his withdrawal.  This infection can are delivered with a rootkit, and guiding the help of Norton or a malware removal Forum would be appropriate in these circumstances.
