Hi all,  I have Norton 2004 on my system, and I update it on a regular
bases.  My computer is getting constant pop-ups, virus alerts, trojan alerts
and so on.  Meanwhile, Jaws keeps freezing.  Could this be a result of all
the above?  If so, any suggestions?  I am trying 2 find a spy software
program that will remove all of the above for free.  Any suggestions would
be helpful.
Thanks
Kristy
