I have Adaware too and it picks up minor things that Norton doesnt pick up because they consider them a threat.
Just delete them anyway.

A lot of antivirus software products don't pick up on all the threats, to be on the safe side you need to run a couple of different kinds and also get some spyware and adware programmes to run as well. For adware Try going to www.lavasoft.de and download 'ad-aware' personal it's free. For spyware checkers try 'spybot - search and destroy. Run these as well as your anti virus software and you should catch more of those nasties!

Norton by default won't look for Adaware. That's an option you have
to manaully set it and tell it to scan for during it's normal virus scan.

It could also be a false positive!!! Download and run McAfee Stinger (free) and dowload Adaware SE and Spybot (free) and they check your results!
