Symantec, Trend, and McAfee have online scanners - assuming you can get
to any of those sites. A virus, trojan, or spyware may block you
getting there because they know those sites and their products will kill
them. You could also try getting Ad-Aware, Spybot, HijackThis, and
CWshredder to check for spyware.

If the problem is not getting to Symantec's web site (but only to some
tech support portion of it), see if you can download the newest
LiveUpdate program from there
(ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/liveupdate/lusetup.exe)
.

If you *just* bought Norton Anti-Virus, seems like you should be calling
their tech support telephone number.
