1) If you are using windows XP, download and install windows defender.
2) Keep the norton updated by using live update.
If you have windows defender installed. You can actually check which programs are running on your computer and about their manufacturers. You can prevent any program from running if you have any doubt.
If you think someone is accessing your computer over a network, then You must have to install windows defender, which also works as a firewall, blocking access to your computer to others on a network.

I've removed Norton recently & swapped to Avast! Antivirus. The later spotted & reomved 2 Trojons residented in the memory of XP where Norten is unable to detect even with the latest update.
Here try http://www.avast.com/index.html .

hi, there are some virus with your IE browser. i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

Best Wishes && Good Luck!
