Program Control message from Norton won't stop

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Norton Internet Safety pops up this message over and over: "ViewMgr.exe is
attempting to connect to a DNS server" and memu drop down recommends "always
block programs..." because of High Risk. The Path is:
C:\ProgramFiles\Viewpoint\ViewpointMgr.exe.; Protoco is: UDP(Outbound).

When I click OK to always block this program, the same message just comes up
two or three more time, and then again a short time later, and again....I
have set the program control to NOT notify me, but this continues. What's
up? Any Suggestions to resolve this would be appreciated.

Malke: Thanks for your help! I have completed the delete and so far no more
annoying "attempts to connect" messages.
