Hi there,\n\nDO NOT follow the links that your taskbar is throwing up - it is a Trojan / Virus that is attempting to install yet more malware on your machine.  Sounds like one of Spyware.Spyfalcon, Spyware.Strike or Spyware.Quake.\n\nGo to the URL below which is a link to a product called Prevx1.  Download the 60 Day Free Trial and it will scan your machine and remove any viruses / adware / spyware & trojans.\n\nLink to Prevx1 60 Day Free Trial:\nhttp://info.prevx.com/downloadremove.asp

Here you have some good and free antivirus programs:\nhttp://askcomputerexpert.ws43.com/download/\nGet one and forget about that piece of crap called Norton!

Sure it's a virus. Get "norton anitirus", "microsoft antispyware" and "search and destroy".

the best overall answer i can give you would be for you to make sure that you have an antivirus software installed and updated and running at all times (Norton is good).\nAlso, be very careful about installing software, most computer problems (crashing, freezes etc..) come from spyware and trojans etc.. harmful things for your box.\nHope this helps

when you get on your computer uninstall the norton and install Norton AntiVirus 2005 and it should stop if it don't stop then you will have to redo your computer because it has a problom with it

You mean antivirus? okay, try AVG Anti-Virus than, its free and better.  It has been proven in numerous test to out perform norton.

My suggestion would be to reinstall the Norton Antivirus, and to download Firefox - http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

Actually, you do not have to search anything. When you install an  Anti-virus program, it will tell you (i.e. Norton Internet Security, etc) was detected,  this "program" must be removed.... Cancel setup at this point and remove the "program". Then install the new Anti-virus program.

There are what's called "false positives" plus one scanner may  know about a certain variant of a virus while another does not.\n\nPersonally I do not care for Norton but as long as it's up to date then it's better than nothing. I would suggest going online and trying Trend's Housecall to see if your infected.\n\nIf you find this useful please give a thumbs up and/or best answer rating.

go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com you can do an online virus scan. You should be sure that your virus definitions for Norton  are up to date as well. Sometimes you have to reboot in Safe mode then run your scan

on the Symantec (Norton) homepage\nhttp://security.symantec.com/sscv6/home.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym&plfid=22&pkj=UQGNLSIVFWMFKPXKBQW\n\nrun both checks "Security Scan" and "Virus Detection", especially the 1st check will show you where the weak points in your system are.

Try this, there are more norton/symantec removal tools on the net.\nHope this helps good luck.

Pay attention to what you install, first off. However, if you have a PC that already had some stuff on it, you may want to format and reinstall windows. None of those options are good for you? Try installing Norton System Works. It has a process viewer (among many other useful utilities) that explains exactly what programs are running and to what processes they are linked. There may be similar programs out there, but I like NSW.

What did you use to get rid of that virus?  I have the same thing and my symantec is not working.  It keeps popping up.

ctrl alt delete it and try to open norton again. I hate norton\n\nIt's best to scan with several virus/spyware programs. There's several online ones free that you can use. I like panda and bitdefender best because they've found the most viruses. Adaware is best for removing spyware.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/security.php
