my uncle is really good with computers and when i first got my computer, like every other windows computer, it came with norton anti-virus. my uncle said that norton can eventually start to harm your computer, like by taking over it and making it crash. i didnt believe him at first but then it started happening to my moms computer. we almost had to erase all the memory because of it but thankfully everything turned out ok.
the point is, get rid of norton and download another antivirus software for free.
for spyware, id recommend downloading spybot search&destroy and ad aware SE personal
all of the programs can be found on download.com, and if not there, just type it in google and download it from a site there
PS- no matter what people say, spybot search&destroy DOES NOT give your computer viruses.
