Problem uninstalling malicious programs

I downloaded something (Norton said it was safe?) and immediately started having problems and unwanted popups on my computer. I brought up list of programs on my computer and tried to uninstall several suspect programs that were installed on the same date (including MyPC Backup). I keep getting message "Please wait until the current program is finished uninstalling or being changed." How can I uninstall these programs?

Thanks for your help! Re booting allowed me to uninstall the suspicious programs. Then I took your advice and subscribed to the free version of  Malwarebyte and ran a few scans and deleted over 260 pups. Everything seems to be working now so again, thanks!

Glad to be of help. Run MalwareBytes Free regularly, and along with Norton, it will help keep you trouble free. :smileyhappy:
