I keep having boxes pop-up (~20 at a time) about symantec not being able to send out emails to strange addresses. I suspect that something has gotten on my system that is attempting to send out info, but being blocked by Norton. Running Ad-aware and spyblaster, along with a updating Norton did not fix the problem. Is there anything else I could do to root out this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Once again, the capitalist owner of this forum has deleted my post because my views are not his.

Say what you want but that shouldn't be.

Well, although not expressly outlined in the site rules, stupid & ill advised posts are frequently removed (if reported) - your dislike of Norton notwithstanding, just up & dumping it doesn't seem terribly helpful advice, given that it seems to be preventing rogue emails from being sent by the user's machine. Instead of posting bad Spanish or ludicrous conspiracy theories, get a grip & suck it up. If you're seeking an official explanation, contact JW. For the amount of posting you do (although new to this specific forum) you seem pretty naive about forums in general, and Computing.Net in particular A 'friendly suggestion' might be for you to quit trying to answer every single post. As well, if your advice consists of more or less the same information each & every time, that pretty much makes it a "boilerplate" or knee jerk response, which you might consider skipping every now & then If I know the answer I'll tell you the answer, and if I don't, I'll just respond, cleverly --Donald Rumsfeld

As I said, say whatever you want. I participate in the forum to relax. Continuing the thread or trying to produce changes would not be conducive to that. Thank you anyway.

"Continuing the thread or trying to produce changes would not be conducive to that" ... to your relaxation? No, I suppose not - although "trying to produce changes" is a bit of a mystifyin' statement Too bad - your relaxation aside, commanding folks to dump software based solely on your opinion, and without any sort of explanation is more than a little presumptious, and not terribly helpful Either you are A Very Young Person, or deliberately naive - either way, if you continue on that tack, you may very well see more of your efforts stricken from the record If I know the answer I'll tell you the answer, and if I don't, I'll just respond, cleverly --Donald Rumsfeld
