For some reason my computer keeps showing me an icon with a x in it that
changes to a ? (back and forth) and when you click on it opens a window with
some kind virus Protect Pro window. I have already Norton Virus and can't
get rid of this screen. To top it off at the bottom where the icons are is
also a blinking exclamation point and it automatically takes you to another
screen to buy some kind of virus package which I don't need. The print on my
computer has almost doubled in size and I keep getting porno pop-ups all of a
sudden. Can someone help me out ??

Hi,

What you actually have is a trojan disguising itelf as a cure to the ills it
is causing. You can find removal instructions here:

Your Norton software isn't doing its job too well, you may want to make sure
it is updated.
