Norton Antivirus problem

    Hi. I'm not sure if this is in the right forum or not. I'm not sure what the problem is. If this isn't the right forum, I won't post any more.

    As I turn on my computer and it starts loading the desktop, a little dialogue box pops up and says "Preparing to install...". A second later another dialogue box opens up on top of that one and says "Norton Antivirus does not support the repair feature. Please uninstall and reinstall".
    I click it away and Norton says "all installed programs are running well".

    can anyone tell me if this is normal? Should I uninstall and reinstall? Is it possible that this request comes from a malware infection that should be ignored?

    please help me, thank you.

    To check for malware:

    Please follow the steps below:

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis:

    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too (
    these scans are covered in steps 6 & 7 of the READ & RUN ME sticky)
    • Bitdefender
    • Panda Scan
    • HijackThis
    You can also uninstall Norton then install it again after a reboot.
