"3g in 10 days" [!] is no sort of valid program update. Sounds like a Trojan Bot [up to no good] to me. If it is already on your PC Party, no amount of changing firewalls or anti-virus software will cure the problem or even find it most probably, as a Trojan bot is malicious code attached to a seemingly valid bit of software or a downloaded media codex. Very well hidden from anything mostly, but getting rid of Nortons is still a good idea.
