You have a trojan infestation, from the sound of it. Computer probably needs a good cleanup. This is an extremely good procedure to follow.http://wiki.castlecops.com/Malware_R...:_Introduction
Takes a while. Before doing it, I would ditch the av applications you have (you'll also need the http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...05033108162039
to remove the traces of Norton), download some decent applications, Like Avast, AVG, or Avira antivirus, AVG antispyware (30 day free trial) and maybe Superantispyware, or Asquared. AdAware and Spybot have been overtaken by these three, in ability to detect/remove. They still have their uses though. Not a bad idea, in future, to read the EULA of programs installed. I've read the one for AOL securitysuite, it caused me to avoid it completely.(Erase it from my HD, actually) Lots of privacy/adware issues. Eulayser, from Javacool, is a pretty useful program for that. Good luck.
