most likely
Norton is scanning all the time and most likely got it fairly quickly.
I would not lose sleep over it and after all it is too late.
However it is not too late to dump norton as an antivirus

It depends on whether it found it in "real-time" as you were on the internet or if it found the trojan during a regular on-demand scan.
A real-time trojan detection most likely stopped the trojan before any damage was done.
A detection during a full system scan means that your computer was infected for some period of time and major damage could have been done.
In any event, a full system scan is warranted, to completely remove the trojan and any other malware that the trojan may have downloaded.
It has absolutely nothing to do with whether any malware was quarentined or totally deleted.

All depends on how long you had the "Trojan Virus", in your system, before you ran your Nortons scanner. (There are trojans that have built in clocks set to go off any a given time & cause alot of damage or steal or data). The trojans are known as "in waiting".
My antivirus program has two background scanners. 1), real time scanner to kill the trojan hidden or embedded in a webpage or file. No damge is done to my system. 2). The other scanner is Dynamic Defense System, stops drive my viruses, or what is known as, "zero day attacks". Plus catches all software that does not have a valid lic., or publisher is unknown.

To be definitely sure, open your antivirus program and go to the quarantined section.
Just because it's "quarantined" it doesn't mean nothing got infected. It could have infected a file/files and quarantined that file(s).

It would depend on what area of computer that is infected. If you can add anymore information on the name of the trojan it would help more.
