My suggestion :
1. download v1.21 from download page. Ignore TrueUpdate.
2. try a different av program.

I wouldn't be surprised if Norton identified *itself* as a virus... it had the same problems back in win3.11 days and has never been improved...
Off the top of my head I recommend McAfee, iirc they used to be pretty decent and probably still are. There may be better/cheaper/etc though. I don't bother with an antivirus proggy so feel free to take my advice with a metric ton of salt.

You don't want to leave your machine without a Virus scanner...
Make sure that your Virus Signatures are up to date. Connect to the Internet and do
a "Live Update" at least once every two weeks.
