I read that Norton antivirus+ other things was better than McAfee that costs more. After I do a Norton initial scan with quick or complete scan, I always get 4 threats detected and 4 resolved. I can never get 0 threats detected. Is this normal or what is wrong?

I can surf the internet on my Windows Vista but once I log into a website, it pushes to another page. For example, if i log onto to target.com and try to fill in an online application, it sends to a completely different advertising page. Please advise.
