Should try sophos.  It's pretty bad too.   Sophos is a memory hog and will slow down your pc to a crawl.  Then when you try to remove it.  IT doesn't completely remove itself so you can't install another antivirus on your system.  Luckily, revo uninstaller can get rid of it.

What version of norton  do you? Norton require a remove tools to removed it out on the registry.
