I keep getting messages saying my antivirus definitions are not up to date even though they are with Norton. I'm also getting meesages when I run adaware saying that my definitions are like 81 days old. Plus everytime I reboot my computer It's saying I have new programs installed in my start menu, and it's just highlighting nero....which I've had for quite a while. Anyone have any suggestions?

boot into safe mode by tapping the F8 key while booting and see if you can run a virus with Norton. Post back on the results.

Check your clock. See if it is set to the right time and date.
