I did have everything, including firewall - Norton really hurt me when I upgraded to 2006. That's when all of this started. : P
Get rid of Norton and get Trend Micro, PC-cillen 2003 it's free and comes with a free firewall that is very effective.
Use that in conjunction with Adware Personal and Trend Micro House call and you will stay clean.
Also download reg cleaner so the bad guys don't mess with your registry.
My sister started having problems after upgrading to Norton 2006. She tried system restore and it wouldn't work. After removing Norton everything returned to normal.
