Maydup has provided the correct link for getting rid of Norton.

I've never even heard of Wajam but their website seems to provide the information you need:

Last year, after MSE failed several independent tests, Microsoft admitted that it's not as good as they'd like it to be. Consider something else instead, such as Avast!

PS: Windows 8 has Windows Defender (which replaces MSE anyway) built into it.
Question Author
Thanks for your prompt and very helpful responses Maydup and Buenchico. I will settle for windows defender ( not only was machine loaded Norton, salesman tried to sell me McAfee too!) Do I need to install any other security? I have downloaded Firefox in preference to Internet Explorer and set up a required Live email as I have a fairly new Windows 8 phone too

>>>Do I need to install any other security?

It's a good idea to install the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. (When installing, take care to deselect the option to try a free trial of the full 'PRO' version). It only runs 'on demand', rather than 'in the background', so you need to remember to run a 'quick' scan once every few weeks. (NB: 'Quick' often means longer than half an hour!)
