First, unintall Norton Anti-Virus and get Avast! Anti-Virus....it's 1000x better than Norton and it's free! It cleans up all the stuff that Norton can't and doesnt take up as much RAM. Norton sucks donkey balls, so do yourself a favor now and delete that shizznit.

yup, totally free...and yes, it will help your problem. dont forget to run your spyware stuff too. (ie adaware, spybot, microsoft, etc)

the best anti-spy/adware program on the market is SpySweeper made by a company called Webroot. It is far and away the best option out there. I have been using it for a few years and it will clear up any problem you have, plus protect you in realtime from a wide variety of potential attacks. You can d/l and scan your comp for free - there is a subscription service (something like 20 or 30 bucks a year) that is WELL WORTH THE MONEY.

good luck
