IE7 Unwanted web sites keep appearing!

I have new version of Norton 360 with the add on package but have just
started getting random unwanted websites automatically opening every few
minutes such as casino/ loans etc. How can I stop it happening?
Any help appreciated!

Norton 360's doing a wonderful job, ain't it?

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2

It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
