No - Norton would stop working on your pc as well as his, they keep track of the serial numbers plus you can only activate each copy 3 times.
Just use legal freeware, theres a full list on my blog but basically you need to boot his pc in safe mode and run Spybot Search and Destroy.
Just check you run the right software from the correct download site, not one of the fake versions.
You may need to switch off System Restore as back up files will be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.
You need all three anti spyware programs;
http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.
http://www.lavasoft.com - Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.

Trojan.eCodec has been determined by the Prevx database as Bad. Therefore this file is unsafe to run and should be removed using Prevx1.
We Recommend you do not delete the files listed above manually. As Malware can use the same name as a genuine file, you could inadvertantly delete a file which is genuine. Prevx1 can analyze the actual malware file on your computer so it can identify and clean up malware and protect your computer from future malware infections
Go here and download the remover

trojan ecodec is known as emcodec by symantec. Below is a link of symantec's manual removal instruction. It applies whatever antivirus program you are running. Use the names of the files created by the trojan and entries from registry to delete them as explained in it.
You can get more help on following the steps on the other link

Yes, ecodec.exe is a trojan, and a bad one too. You need to get rid of it ASAP. Try installing AVG antivirus which should root it out.

Download SpyBot search and destroy and run it, if there is a trojan that will wipe it out, you can download it from CNET for free. Nortons is useless.

Google: AVG Free Edition. It's a Grisoft product and it will find and heal all viruses. And it is legal.
