I've had lots of practice with viruses and suspected viruses on my computer. These newer computer however with automatic windows boot throws me off when I need to try and fix something. My old computer was more manual oriented and I knew how to navigate through it, even if it took me a few days.
Anyway IMO your Norton anti-virus program was compromised when you were connected to the web. Some worms attack anti-virus software. Once compromised there is no way to get rid of it with a virus scan as it is hidden in the anti-virus registry.
Even without anti-virus on my computer, I had a virus that remained that would migrate to different folders on my computer and duplicate itself. Very difficult to get rid of without rewriting the hard drive. Initially I tried a free download that scanned my computer. This scan found like 8 worms and a bunch of spyware. Then I tried Stop Sign which picked up 2 more viruses that the first scan didn't detect. However I still this migrating virus that couldn't be eliminated after spending days deleting files.
Finally I re-wrote the hard drives and installed a purchased copy of Stop Sign. With a clean computer this firewall and anti-virus software Stops all attacks. Highly recommended.
