Help with Norton Internet Security 2003 for ME
When I first log on to the net and go to my home page (Yahoo.com) I get these annoying pop ups that from Norton that tells me some program is trying to access the internet. I get them to from other sites to. I get about 8 in a row so I have to keep clicking. Ok over and over. At the top of this pop up it says Program Control. Then below that it will say: Medium Risk, Low risk or High risk. Then below that it will give me a choice to block it or permit it. What I would like is to get help in stopping them or making them happen fewer. If you could give me step by step instructions that would be great. Thanx!

I agree with mrscanadalous187.
This sounds like some sort of spyware. Does this happen every time you visit a website. i.e. if you start-up the browser you get the message. You link on a link and you get this message, you enter a new address in the address bar and you get this message, etc. take a look at the following: http://www.wordspy.com/words/spyware.asp
Do you have the latest updates for your antivirus? Make sure you do?
Try and get spybot it's free. You can read a review about it on: http://www.cnet.com/software/0-806181-1204-20848563.html?tag=plug
