these are 100 times better than norton and dont cost a penny



I have being doing IT Support for 25 Years - so I know what i am talking about
Norton may not have caught the infection, and most likely the microsoft pop-ups are bogus.....what you probably have is spyware or malware, possibly even a rootkit....where norton can detect and clean most intrusions, it is primarily an antivirus and doesn't always work that great to get rid of other types of infections.....get a anti-spy program like adaware or spybot search and destroy, or both...also spyware blaster is a good tool as well...they are all free....lookup a program called rootkit revealer and also hijack this....follow the instructs....update everything and run the scans....be extra careful with hijack this as not everything it finds is bad, it just finds things that have been changed since the original file was installed.
