Why is this even a question? Flattening and rebuilding is the only viable
option at all.

But why would you do so? Since the purpose of Symantec software is to make
the system vulnerable, isn't being exploited the goal of your system?

It's true. You can't trust the system any long after it's been
infected with malware. The fastest way back to happy status is
rebuilding the box from original media. Backup data first of course
(external usb hard drive is handy for such), but you'll want to
rebuild from original media, bring the system up to date with windows
update as many times as it needs from behind a hardware firewall
device of some sort, add back a good antivirus product like eset
nod32, update it to the latest, attach the external disk with your
(likely dirty data), scan it and then copy it over into a directory
that you look upon VERY suspiciously.

If he ran as a non-admin user, then flattening and rebuilding the user
account together will all the programs and data he had access to would be
sufficient. The problem hereby is that he ran Symantec software, so most
likely the system already exploited one of its privileged services directly,
and even if not it could still trivially escalate privileges.
