Hi,
"Windows has detected spyware infection!"
Norton does not detect spyware with full system scan. I am cautious about
responding to the message that pops up.
Should I be concerned or just ignore.

It sounds like a common scam, but your description is exceedingly
vague. (And Nortin is an antivirus application, it's not really
designed to handle spyware, to any significant extent.



Norton Internet Security is everything:

"Enjoy your connection to the world. Norton Internet Security? 2006
gives you the confidence to travel the Internet like never before,
protected against viruses, hackers, spyware, and spam. A comprehensive
set of security tools, Norton Internet Security helps keep you safe
online as you surf and email, swap files, download programs, and chat. "

Why would they claim this in thei marketing brochure and webpage if it
is not "designed to handle spyware, to any significant extent"?

When did you last use this product? All new computers come with this
preinstalled! Unless you know what Linda is using.
