Did you follow the instructions on that link? You should have an option to allow you to set your own page when the Norton Popup opens.

http://securityresponse.symantec.com.../fix_homepage/

If that doesn't work.....

Open HijackThis and click on 'Do a System Scan Only'. Check the following entries if they exist (make sure you do not miss any) and click Fix Checked

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://securityresponse.symantec.com...r/fix_homepage

Close HijackThis now.

Reset your homepage from the IE menubar via Tools>Internet Options

Let me know if this helps.
