Do you run them in safe mode? And turn of system restore. Check if thers an option to scan on next boot as the antivirus can get at the system files. I use avast antivirus because it has the ability to do just that.

try using a web browser called mozilla firefox because it stops it all unlike internet explorer

Yeah mozilla is a must has its own built in firewall avent had a problem since then.

or get google toolbar for IE - also make sure you have ALL the windows updates from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com - have you updated norton antivirus?

if still not joy - get zonealarm installed - also what version of windows do you have - you may want to disable the messenger service.

Yep, I would give that a try - I had a play with it yesterday, seems to be a fantastic bit of software.
