Glad everything is okay for you now. Nortons does have a sort of spyware/threat
scan in the 2004 version which has picked up only one thing when I installed
Nortons. I continue to use Lavasoft and Spybot. When you get more use to using
spyware removal tools, look into Spybot although it's not recommended for a new
user.
