You will not harm your machine if you run the Symantec tool and you are not infected. But chances are that you would KNOW if you are infected.
You might want to do a free online scan at TrendMicro's Housecall

Go to Microsoft.com and get their security patch for the RPC (or RCP, I keep getting that mixed up) vulnerability if you haven't already. If you're using a version of Windows later than '98, then you may already have it (or some version of it that hasn't given itself away yet), so I'd download the symantec tool and scan just in case.
