<<Why didn't Norton detect it?>>
Most plausible reasons I can think of: a. There is no AV program that can be designed to catch every form of malware that exists. That's why firewalls and other assorted programs exist that act as deterrents (not remedies) to malware. The idea (IMO) is to prevent the system from becoming a home, not to cure the system after it has become infected. b. New malware is constantly introduced by idiots. AV is a reactive answer to known malware problems, there can only be an answer developed to new malware...once enough data has been collected and enough human effort has gone into devising a stategy to overcome such.
