Confused spyware problem that norton didnt catch

I recently had a box come up that says Warning spyware detected on your computer Install an antivirus or spyware remover to clean your computer. the problem is that i already have norton. I run a scan and found 1 spyware problem so i fixed it but the box never went off my screen it is like it is a different background. why did norton not catch it in the first place and is there spyware that norton cant find?

Re: spyware problem that norton didnt catch

Norton is a horrible program to begin with.

For your protection needs I would use.

AVG Free
SuperAntiSpyware
SpywareBlaster
Sunbelt Firewall

Run a SuperAntiSpyware scan and also a Spybot Search and Destroy scan.

Honestly, those free solutions will protect you better than Norton, it is not very good at all.
