    Download AVIRA ANTI VIRUS PERSONAL (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_antivir/

    (Inplace of norton that you removed until we can get kaspersky working)
    UPDATE and FULL scan

    Make sure you use the AVG REMOVAL TOOL before trying kaspersky or avira
