Get rid of the shitty norton and install the free AVG 7.5 with automatic updates............... maybe install ad-aware and run a scan (also free)...... norton IMO is utter wank................ lets all sorts of nasties through right under its nose

Yeah I use AVG 7.5 and CCcleaner. They are the best.
What version of Windows are you using?

^^^ What he says.... Norton is crap, it will slow your PC down too and getting rid of it totally off your machine won't be easy either.

After using AVG for years, I switched over to AVAST a couple of years ago and found it even better than AVG

WIPE IT mate to start with , obviously saving all the stuff you want to keep first

then reinstall it and put Avast on , you get daily updates and its completely free!

I had it on good advice that Norton use to be the dogs danglies 3-4 years ago , but now a days its just plain pants

Listern to your dad , you know it makes sense
