Get a better program. Try AVG.

Malware writers know all about Norton and can disable it.
Don't believe Norton. Run an online Virus scan to verify, like:
Then, switch to Kaspersky, Norton is bloatware.

Sometimes Trojans can hide themselves, or contain spyware that Norton cannot detect.
I have a similar problem and I got StopZilla. No more problems now!

seems more likely you have got malware not a trojan, pop ups wanting you to download and pay for a program.
get adaware or spybot and get them up todate and do a full scan.

maybe you need to update your antivirus software..
or you can try the free online scan by kaspersky ...

or McAfee

clicking on the McAfee link automatically starts to download the software required

try using spybot search and destroy, it is free and works great.
