Norton problem

Unknown

Hi guys - thanks to bullseye (sam) who helped with my earlier xlime problem - I thinks it ixed up the popup problem soI'll let you know if anything goes wrong. But A message comes up everytime I boot my computer saying trojan.qhosts and it obviously must be reproducing itself as norton deletes it everytime on startup. Also my Windows Security Alert says I should put it on Automatic, but when I do and press ok, the icon in the corner stays there and never changes even afer rebooting! Can anyone help? thanks for the quick replies too - i's great to know people get back to you quickly. And yes, I've run Adware and Spybot. Cheers,
