Wait, you mean I should boot into safe mode and then run norton to see if it will delete the files? And no, I haven't tried Spybot.
Yes, try that. Norton might be having trouble removing stuff because it's currently loaded in memory. It's possible to have a program detect when it's being shut down, and have it spawn a new copy... you kill the original, but eggs burst out of its chest before it dies and they all hatch.

Also try Spybot. I read an article a few weeks ago that compared spyware removal programs, and it said that even though AdAware and Spybot are the best programs currently out there, they only remove about 57% of known spyware. There's also a considerable difference between what AdAware removes and what Spybot nukes.
