Hello James Gilles2
If you are still having this issue, please visit one of the free malware removal sites that we recommend.
Please see this link for an up to date description of these sites plus the addition of a newly listed site formed by one of our successful malware remover users who unfortunately has passed away. That site is still being run by a good expert who happens to be one of the other Gurus. The new site is listed first in this link.

Thanks.
Hello @James Gilles2 This is a system registry entry suggesting an infection of some sort. Most times from using a Torrent to download and install software. I don't know if that is true in your case however. First run live update within Norton and get all the updates available then reboot your system. Perform a FULL system scan and remove whatever is found. Then reboot a second time.
If you are still having the issue download, install and run Malwarebytes. It is fully compatible with Norton products.
Run Malwarebytes, Open > Settings Tab > Scanner Settings > Under action for PUP > Select: Show in Results List and Check for removal.
Please Update and run a Full scan
Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected on any found item
