what you need to do is disconnect your modem from the computer, then run
norton, i had one a while a go to do with adware, once internet disconnected
hopefully norton clean up, did you find your virtual memory gettinng bad,
takes 5 min to load

It would be *much* easier to UNplug the phone line then to 'disconnect
