Its unlikely to be just Norton, you may also have spyware on your laptop.
To uninstall Norton you need a special tool from the Symantec website.
You may need to switch off System Restore as back up files may be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.
Then beef up your security. Its easier to prevent malware getting on to your sytem in the first place rather than trying to remove it. All the following programs are free for home use;
You need to install one firewall.
The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out.
