Do I have a trojan? =(

My norton antivirus program started to open itself and starts to scan my computer for viruses from all alone. Is this normal? I'm using norton for quite some time now and such things have never happened before.. Does anybody of you know something about this? Is it possible that this is some kind of new update to ensure that my pc is clean from viruses or is it more likely that a trojan is behind that?

yeah it is normal i think it was a scheduled scan it might be that you havent noticed it before. usually norton will pick up anything

Yes It was normal, there is schedule for norton antivirus for checking your system. you can change it from your schedule task. if you dont want norton auto checking your system it was not recomended.
