Hi, I have Norton's Symantec antivirus scan, Ad-aware and spybot all on my computer that I use often. However, I'm still getting popups, and they are VERY annoying. If someone could help me out I would be very greatful!

Hi I too have so many pop ups. Mainly from Norton Program control with a high risk alert. How do I get rid of these then? Since typing this, I have had at least 5 alerts. It is really off putting, to put it politely. I have SP2 on XP, Norton 2004
Help!!! I am clueless!!!

Your setting need changing. Adjust the alerts options and you should be alert free.
