So i was watching a CSGO match and than norton starts spamming me with a sign on my bottom right side of my screen saying there was an intursion attempt by desktop32.zaptop.org.
I turned off my internet and norton stopped spamming, what should i do now?
 
I just read up on this - it is a serious threat. At some point and time, you clicked on a link or opened an email with their "payload" installed, making you a target for their hacking. I would do a full scan with Norton first to remove the malware, then download and install Malwarebytes and do a full scan (you can download it on someone else's computer - but you need an internet connection to update the database when you install it.).

If you continue to get the messages - it may be better to completely format and reinstall everything on your computer....they can completely control your computer and access virtually everything on your computer....
