Hi James,
Helpctr.exe and other Windows programs make use of scripting and of
these scripts write to the registry and Norton Antivirus recognises them
as potentially harmful.If it was really malicious, it should have given
you an exact virus name.
If you have heuristics enabled in your NAV, then it is possible that it
was a false alarm.
