hey ppl

Yeah I'd go along with everything mentioned so far heres a few more things though. I'd scrap Norton it's very very slow and nothing fantastic any more. I'd go with something like AVG (free version) http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/1/ this will speed up your system and keep you protected from viruses.
You don't mention a firewall which is a worry I'd go with Zonealarm over the windows version which you can get from http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp;jsessionid=DmyzFc8iJe4tJDDjrcxFR5B6Sm1WYYsRJqT1OxlHa2YqcWpayF2k!-1868127166!-1062696905!7551!7552!NONE?dc=12bms&ctry=GB〈=en&lid=dbtopnav_zass choose Zonealarm from the list if that link doesn't take you straight there.
What else well check your software for ads and what not which are hidden away using adaware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ also get the extras for this from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/addons/tweakse.shtml
If you do have a trojan collecting info then you need to try the cleaner. It's only a 30 day trial but will fix any problems get that from http://www.moosoft.com/products/cleaner/download/
Finally I'd say run http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html and then use this to decide what to keep and what to get rid of http://aumha.org/a/hjttutor.htm this will make sure your computer is clean.
Most important when you have downloaded these run the updates to make sure your not using something from 1998 and then run each of them (leave AVG and Zonealarm on all the time of course) and hopefully that will make sure your computer is kept clear of any problems.
