Yes, Norton fails. Only reason I got it is cause it came with my laptop.

I will try the malware thing, and see if it finds anything. And to avoid a headache like samson said I will back up everything and just format if stuff starts screwing up.

Do you think this is more of a 'backdoor.bot', trojan, or was there a possibility someone took control of my computer through remote access?? I am completely illiterate when it comes to stuff like this, lol.
