The whataboutadog is more than just an entry in your Trusted Zone. It comes along with what is known as the AWF Trojan. That trojan 'replaces' legit program processes that run at startup. I see no indications that AWF is still on the system and it appears all the legit program processes are back in place. There are times the programs still will not work properly afterwards. Noteably ITunes and Anti Virus programs.

Uninstall your Symantec AV, reboot, then reinstall it again.
