The pop-up is Setup that calls for installation despite of IE8 has been
installed already. It pops up every once in awhile; "Reminde me later" is my
answer to make it disappear.

While IE8 was installed AWG and ZA were disabled; Windows Firewall not
enabled, at least not manually.

Norton Removal tool never been applied/run; don't even have it; never
downloaded it.
