I am constantly getting popup notifications that Norton has discovered and quarantined a virus or something that may be harmful to my computer. I want the notifications to go away.

Hello Carner,
Norton notifies you that it has blocked a virus on the computer. However, it continuously tries to attack your computer and that is the reason you get these notifications.
Download the latest Norton Power Eraser from Here Once you run the software, Click on "Advanced" and then run the second option which says " System Scan"
Norton Power Eraser will most likely find few threats and ask you to remove it. Just remove the threats and then restart the computer to check if you still get any notifications from Norton.
Please note that Norton Power Eraser uses aggressive methods to detect threats, there is a risk that it can select some legitimate programs for removal. You should use this tool very carefully. If you accidently remove a legitimate program, you can run Norton Power Eraser to review past repair sessions and undo them.

What happens if NPE takes a file and Windows can no longer start?

Some interesting links to posts in the comments where that is exactly what happened. There has been a great deal of discussion about NPE over the years.
