    Hi

    my 12 yr old has downloaded some kind of virus which takes over the brower and starts random searches using google. He thought he was downloading some software for his NDS at the time. Any assistance would be much appreciated. thanks in advance.

    yeah this happened because norton has had its day, it only works if u update norton every hour or check, eg check for updates.
    i never pay for anti virus, firewall's etc..
    i use http://free.grisoft.com for anti virus
    and zonealarm for firewall
    also i would advise download adaware SE from http://www.lavasoft.com
