Sounds familiar, you should MSN or e-mail my bro about it, if it is familair, he's the one who fixed it before, I'm sure. me(AT)sd41.net is his e-mail, but for MSN, silverdagger41(AT)hotmail.com

I recognize this one, but cannot recall the name of it. I know there are removal instructions for it (it's not easy), but I can't find them because I can't remember what it's called. If Norton is giving you a name for it, let me know and I'll look it up.

Go to http://www.download.com and get Spybot Search & Destroy. It's totally free, and the best anti-spyware/anti-adware/anti-malware program available.

It should be able to get rid of it for you.
