Norton 360 wants to restart computer

Hi,
I am having problems with my norton 360 (which I do know is rubbish but is paid for so I might as well use it). It comes up with the message that I need to restart my computer due to the fact that it needs to remove spyware.cometcursor. This is very annoying and doesn't seem to go away even if I restart my computer. I presume this is a piece of spyware that isn't particulary dangerous, but Norton decides my computer is not secure due to this fact.
Is there anything to do that will stop Norton going on about this?
thanks

I run windows xp with latest updates on a fujitsu siemens laptop.

 

yes-this is the item that it is trying to remove. It seems to come up everytime I turn on my laptop, and doesn't seem to go away even if the suggested action by Norton (which is restarting the laptop) is followed. I don't think the item actually has a use on my laptop, so I would like to remove it if possible, but Norton doesn't seem to be able to remove it.
thanks for replying

If you go to add/remove programs, do you see comet curser there?
