they don't exist, yet appear briefly in the Norton scan window. After
searching the internet on these terms they are not good. Norton
completes the scan without any warnings and claims all is well.
Norton is uptodate with the latest. What is going on here? Need I be
worried?

Norton is just scanning for those files, it doesn't mean that they are on
your system.
Many malware/virus scanners will do this.
If you want you can run an online scanner to double check Norton,here is a
good one.
