pop ups in windows explorer

Many thanks for all your help, its really appreciated.

The only hing that still concerns me is the Norton Security Scan icon that appeared on my desktop. I havent used Norton, and didnt intentionally download it. I suspect it is malware but dont want click on it at all. Can I remove it safely through add/remove programmes, or would that also do damage if it is malware. I think it appeared half way through our cleaning at a time when my firewall was down over night as I ran something!

Hi,

If you wish to remove Norton Security Scan, please follow these instructions:

• Go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
• Click on Norton Security Scan
• Click on Remove or Uninstall. Follow the prompts to uninstall Norton.

Run Batchfile

Please copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the following text in the quote to Notepad. Save it as "All Files" and name it RemoveIt.bat Please save it on your desktop.

@echo off
RD /S /Q "C:\Program Files\Norton Security Scan"
RD /S /Q "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Norton"
RD /S /Q "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NortonInstaller"
RD /S /Q "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec"
RD /S /Q "C:\Program Files\NortonInstaller"
DEL /q /a /f "C:\WINDOWS\tasks\Norton Security Scan for Mark.job"

Double click RemoveIt.bat. A window will open and close. This is normal.

Norton should be removed.

How is everything running now?
