It is possible that it sent out information, but not all attacks do that type of thing, so it's not certain.
It is a bigger concern if you logged into online banking *while* you had the infection. If Norton quarantined the infection or created a log file with details about the infection, you might be able to discover what the goal of the infection was. Did it show you a name for the virus/spyware? If so, you can usually click a link in the Norton report, or look the virus up manually in the Norton virus database to see what it tries to do. Once you are sure the infection is gone, I'd recommend changing your passwords at all the most important places you visit, and watch your accounts carefully for a while. After a few weeks, you could get a free credit report to make sure there hasn't been any unauthorized credit activity in your name. The place you do that is https://www.annualcreditreport.com/ . Beware, there are lots of spoof, lookalike, and probably also fraud sites about "free annual credit reports".
