Why does my computer say adware infection but Nortans scan says its okay?

Norton anti-virus only scans for viruses. Programs such as Ad Aware look only for adware. If you have Norton Security Suite, they may scan for adware, but they might miss some that another program might pick up. Finally, your Norton must be updated daily to stay on top of viruses, adware and malware.

because norton is antivirus and antivirus can't recognize spyware/adware entries. that's why you need antivirus+antispyware to fully protect your computer. norton leaves adware alone cos it's not virus, other antivirus programs do the same.
