Answer 1

If you have installed Nortons, you have already made your first mistake. 1) Nortons is a hugh resource hog, 2), Nortons uses slick marketing skills to sell their software that has been junk for years and continues to get worse each and every year. Not known to find very much with a scan and when a virus is found the odd time, Nortons is able to remove the virus. If you have not paid I would remove. Another shock will be when you remove you will find that Nortons is difficult to remove, and will leave behind atleast 375 fragments of the software hidden all over your system to cause conflict.

Here are the programs I have used for years and never had one virus or spyware.

Here are program I use that will give you 100% protection. Ofcourse you must also have all your critical updates installed from Microsoft.

I use the free zone alarm firewall for many years. Excellent with free updates and all new versions free. Protects you from rouge incoming packets and keeping your private data from leaving your pc.

http://www.zonealarm.com Download their free home for personal use.

Antivirus program I use. You only pay a one time fee of $29.99. and you get all updates and all new versions for life.

Read the webpage and if you like what you read this is the antivirus of choce I have used for over ten years and never one virus.

By culture the Chinese are very secret just about everything and that includes their software.

This antivirus program out of Beijing, China that is also used by the Government of China.

This antivirus program does not have the Govt. permission to be rated with all other known antivirus programs.

What I can assure you is that you pay only a one time fee for life that will include all auto updates, and all new versions for life. The Chinese don't believe in having to pay an annual fee for updates or new versions.

I can tell you their technology is light years ahead of any other known antivirus software out there.

If you open a webpage and there is a hidden virus it will clean in realtime. Anything that you download and has even a trace code, it will kill the download and ask you to upload the trace code for investigation. In real time the upload will tell you if it is clean or not.

Will not allow you download, Real Player, because there is a hidden file that is a trojan keylogger. The file was uploaded and traced back to the United States Army, Intelligence Services out of London, England. (Removal of the file Real Player will reject the installation).

Read for yourself at their webpage. I have never had one virus in ten plus years. Plus it will catch any progam with it's dynamic defense system, for software that you download and it does not have a publisher or lic., included.

Twister Trojan Antivirus V7

Very low on resources with scanner running in background.

If you prefer not to pay and wish to have a free antivirus program download the free AOL Active Virus Shield, powered by Karpersky engine Russia.

Antispyware I use three. You can only use one antivirus program or you will have serious conflict with your system.

AdAware SE Personal out of Sweden. This antispyware company has been around since computers became commerical. In June of this year they will come out with a brand new version. Right now it is beta testing. Download their free home for personal use. http://www.lavasoft.com

Answer 3

I am not a big fan of Norton. I use AVG free. But you need to install Adaware. That can be found at www.lavasoft.com. If you run Internet Explorer, you need IE Privacy keeper. That is at
http://www.download.com/IE-Privacy-Keeper/3000-2144_4-10389683.html

Then there is Spybot Search and Destroy, at
http://www.spybot.info/en/mirrors/index.html

Run those regularly. As for the folders, I have no idea what they are, you didn't list them. But windows is not going to let you delete program files without resisting you. But don't delete anything if you don't know what it is. Folder names and any exe file names would be helpful in letting you know what you have in there.
If you don't trust Norton all the way, or just want a "second opinion" go to
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Trend is very trustworthy, and you can let it do a virus scan on your computer. I have removed many viruses for people who were using Norton.
Installing and running of those programs is easy. My child could do it. Read up on them, and let them work their magic. Keep Norton if you want to, but if Trend housecall finds viruses that Norton didn't, then you might consider changing. And are you running a firewall. I like Zone Alarm free. That will ask you if you want to allow programs access to the internet. If something pops up and you don't know what it is don't let it to the net.
You can find Zone Alarm Free at
