Thanks folks. Will keep you both posted with my findings.

For the record moxnix, I have never had any problems with norton. But I will try your idea. The only draw back I see to removing it is as I mentioned my subscription has experied. If I uninstall it completley won't this leave me dead in the water?

Norton found BrutusA2.exe. It is an executable zip file. I am gonna look into that one also. Kind of odd me thinks. Have to talk to the wife again perhaps
