    This really is not meant to be rude/smart...but, have you consider a MAC?

    1.
    Download, install, and update: Spybot Search&Destroy (S&D), AdAware SE and your anti-virus application. (AVG Free is my personal recommendation).

    2. Boot into Safe Mode (Turn computer on -> keep tapping F8 until a menu appears -> Select Safe Mode)

    3. Run scans...


    4. Keep the above software & operating system up to date, and perhaps consider switching to FireFox (* NoScript)

    Norton is fine, it's just a bit of a resource hog. Use AVG, lightweight, as good as the commercials and free :)
