There is another way to get around it.

Download Spyware Doctor from pctools.

Run Smart Update.

Run an intensive scan.

It will ask you to register to fix the problems (you have to pay)

Instead maximise the little window and drag the fields so you can see the full path of the locations.

Take a screenshot and post it here or email it to me and I can help you to manually get rid of it.

You will need to export your registry and send it me me and I'll manually edit it and you can import it back. This should work ok, but you should keep a copy of the original just in case.

At this point however, I'd strongly suggest backing up everything, doing a clean install and adding the protection outlined. Comodo is also excellent way better than Nortons and better than Zonealarm.

function, Find - NORTON, to make sure it's all gone.

Racer is right about Norton's. As posted previously:

To remove Norton's simply go to: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic42247.html and follow instructions. The small program there does it for you.

From one of their experts:

There are alot of free Anti Virus programs that are just as good and not near the resource hog that Norton is.

Couldn't agree more!

Default Securing your computer

Securing your computer
Your computer is important for your day to day business. You use it to surf the web, check emails, do your banking and sometimes do a bit of shopping. However if you don’t protect your computer properly, you are putting yourself and possibly your family and friends at risk.

So it’s smart to protect your computer! After all, you have spent time and money on it. It would be sensible to take a little time to make sure it is protected from harmful emails, viruses and from unauthorised people getting access to your Internet connection and your information.

By following the steps below you can:

develop safe online habits and plan an effective approach to online security;
protect your computer from malicious software such as viruses or spyware;
prevent any unauthorised person from using your computer;
make sure no one can secretly use your Internet connection; and
recover important information if your computer is stolen.
Basic Steps to Secure Your Computer
Step 1: Set and protect your passwords
Step 2: Use and update anti-virus software
Step 3: Use and update anti-spyware software
Step 4: Install and use a firewall
Step 5: Safety settings for your Internet browser
Step 6: Reduce unwanted emails—managing spam
Step 7: Controlling your Internet Connection
More advanced security options
Step 8: Back-up your online data
Step 9: Smart sharing of files
Step 10: Smart wireless Internet connection
Step 11: Smart online telephoning (VoIP)
Step 12: E-security plan for businesses
