Oh my goodness I purposedly came here to ask for help as this very thing happened to me over the weekend, now i can't get rid of these stupid ad pop ups...so annoying...I will keep on eye on this thread.
thanks.
p.s.
I don't use norton, I use avast and when i ran a scan it showed nothing.
thanks for the knowledgable quilters.
