First thing first.

Post the names and versions of the programs you are using to scan for virus and spyware.

We will get to the bottom of your problems.

Also post what OS you are using.

imho:


Forget about norton. It is more trouble then it is worth.
Do you feel safe having a program on your computer that you can NEVER completely uninstall or remove?
It's a pain in the ass and it causes problems with all kinds of programs.

I think you should uninstall it as much as you can. Turn it off and remove it from the boot startup list.

Then check out these two programs:
http://www.avast.com/
http://lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php
It's all i ever needed.
Both are free and work VERY well. They also don't interfere with other programs or with themselves.

Furthermore you are usingFirefox i hope?

What I use is Kaspersky Anti Virus 7 and I use CCleaner. CCleaner is free and I think it is great program for what it does. http://www.ccleaner.com/download
Ccleaner is not an anti malware/spyware scanner tho

Spybot S&D
AD-Aware
A-Squared

to name a few are malware scanners and free try THIS LINK for a list of free security software ......
