I ran my nortons, updated nortons and ran again and I
also went to the symatecs web site and ran through there,
they all came out clean. I was wondering if it was a
software conflict. This all began when I installed
Norton Firewall (Which I can never use when I am online
because it wont let me online. Today I deleted it).

go to either Symantec.com or Pandasfotware.com or
Mcafee.com and research it, you will find the virus and
the process to stop it. Now from what I recall, this
virus will be active when on the internet...but check on
it.
