Try taking a look at this thread, follow the steps through, you might be able to get rid of those without having to wipe, however I would recommend removing Norton all together and move to a free anti-Virus like Avast.

Yea, you should look at the thread thingie posted. AntiVirus xp2008 is a virus itself, my sister had it on her laptop once, and it got removed, so don't worry, the guys here are really good at this stuff.
