    Have you tried to uninstall Norton ?
    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

      Remove every trace of Norton from your system.

      (That's just general advice.)

        Install MS Antispyware and kill them.

          Markos, uncheck it in msconfig, and reboot.You'll ret a message at boot up that you altered Settings. Click, i don't want to hear this bull**** again. Sometimes it's stubborn, msmsg is.

              Forget about Norton for Antivirus. Use AVG Free Anti-Virus instead.

                Thats what I use. I have an array of things, if you ever want it. Spyware Blaster is great. Works in background and stops most from ever even getting in.

                  It worries me that the co-owner of the site needs our help dealing with this.

                        Actually, I'm pretty sure that you, like several others, are misunderstanding what the issue is.
