Pop Up Risks

I have Windows XP SP2. I have Norton Security, Search & Destroy,
Microsoft Antispyware active and AOL. I thought at least one of them
might keep the below listed from showing up.

The following three .exe files are popping up on my computer. They
are being blocked by Norton Internet Security.

Attempting to connect to a DNS server: "Wiwlygjvto.exe, thnall.exe and
aurarcio.exe.

How can I prevent them from popping up on the computer? It is
annoying to continually have say "OK" when Norton's window appears.

I ran Microsoft Antispyware a few times in the last 2 days. It was
put on my computer by my repair man yesterday.

I detected the following spyware on my system:

Transponder Abetter internewt aurora adware
Shop at Home spyware
Transponder DrPmon adware
IEPlugin spyware.

I told the program to delete them. The next time I ran a scan with
Microsoft the same spyware comes up, again I deleted them.

Any suggestions will be welcome.

Thanks
