I notice that your uninstall issue with Norton has not really been 
addressed so far. Since this is a new computer, I assume that the OS is 
VISTA or XP. If you really want to uninstall Norton, with XP, and likely 
with VISTA, go to Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel and remove 
Norton. Then go to their site, dig down into it and find the appropriate 
"final" removal tool. Download and run the tool. This will not get rid 
of the last little visages of Norton, but you should no longer notice it 
on your computer. If you can not uninstall Norton in normal mode, try 
uninstalling in safe mode.

Before uninstalling Norton, decide upon a replacement anti-virus program 
[and possibly anti-spyware(s)] and be ready to install it/them 
immediately after uninstalling Norton.

BTW you did not mention what Norton. If more than one Norton component 
is installed, you may have to uninstall them separately.

I hope this helps you.
