I don't know what's going on with my computer. Lots of "scanning message 1 of 1" pop ups from symantec, invading my task bar and making my machine slower. I suppose I've got a virus but don't know what kind and don't know how to get rid of it. I've run a full scan with Norton but doesn't show any problem. I need help, Thanks
