If you have any supporting screenshots, please add them:

Where is the phone when these texts are being sent?
Do you recognise the recipients of these texts? ie, are they in your contacts?

This does not sound like it would be related to Norton, so I would suggest looking at Apple Support articles, such as Iphone Sent A Text on its own - Apple Community
