I'm having the same problem when I boot up, except the same message (from
Norton Internet Security) keeps repeating, even though I select "Always block
access". I usually have to make this selection about 20 times before it
stops. I have run a couple of virus scans and nothing pops up. Any ideas on
how to get rid of these access attempts in a way that I do not have to
respond to this pop up message repeatedly?
