Several months ago I contacted Norton Support to remove unwanted Ads that were showing up on my browser (Internet Explorer) and I was asked to uninstall a program called Media Player, which I did and it solved the problem (Thanks much). About a month later the same ads showed up again and I checked programs and found one called Media View, which I also removed solving the problem. Again today, a new program showed up called Media Watch and again I removed it solving the problem. Since the ads showed up on my computer before I visited any websites, it occurred to me that there might be something in my computer that keeps calling up these Adware programs, in checking Performance on my Norton software, I see that this program was downloaded this morning, however, I received no warning asking me if I wanted this program to make changes to my computer. My question is: 1) why didn't Norton warn me this program was downloaded? and 2) is uninstalling the unwanted program leaving something in my computer that keeps downloading these programs and if so, how can I get rid of it once and for all?
