Viruses are not the same as pop-ups. Norton only makes sure you don't get viruses.

You need a program like "Ad-Aware" that will wipe out the idiots with their pop-up program ads and "spyware" from sites you visit that aren't nice. These types of programs don't really hurt your computer, they just hurt you and your online experience (as you've already seen).
