Do you mean that Norton is preventing access to the desktop ...or the message about the spyware .......
Have you tried rebooting into safe mode and seeing if the message is still there ?
What O/S are you using ?

dl65  this happened to me a couple of weeks ago; see POST on 2nd page of this section.

this worked after i did all the above.

Copied from another SITE but it seems to have done the job.

"go to control panel
click appearance and themes
click desktop background or display
click desktop tab,
click customize desktop
click web tab
delete security
Job done"
