I am unable to stop this and it is very irritating as it is popping regularly with some minutes gap

A pop-up appears that says "Your PC is infected with 5 viruses" (see attached file).

Norton wants your Norton Safe Web usage and error data anonymously.
Either share your Norton Safe Web data or disable/remove Norton Safe Web extension.
Norton nags you to install Norton Safe Web and then nags you to share.
Try remove/reinstall Norton Safe Web extension with No, thanks.
And if popup persists try remove/reinstall with OK.
Or, disable/remove Norton Safe Web extension.
And if you remove. You'll likely get nagged to install.
Go figure why free is not really free.
