It's all in the title. Seems I have something that has polluted my computers andkeeps sending me unwanted messages in a popup window. Also keeps connecting me to spyware. I have Norton Anti Virus installed.

Old people problems..

1) Reboot your computer in safe mode

2) Delete all files in your temp directory

3) Run a full Norton virus scan in safe mode

4) Reboot your computer

5) Post here after you are done with a status update

How old are they? If a good few years, why not simply replace them with new ones?

Tech is SO cheap these days. Get a clean PC with a power and speed boost as well.

Bitdefender works great for me I highly recommend it.

Bladewire · 11-25-2018, 11:40 AM

Bitdefender is a Romanian antivirus program

Yes it is, but not the connection to a site which Norton blocks.

MrBottomTooth · 11-25-2018, 03:01 PM

if this resolved the problem it was NOT a virus or spyware.

this is called "push notification" and appears on many sites when you enter. if you click "allow" they can send you such a notification into your browser.

there´s also a way to see to what sites you allowed that and you can turn them on/off
either all or specified.

here is how that works

But my computer is still trying to connect me to sites containing viruses.

BaldBastard · 11-26-2018, 08:46 AM

I've yet to see anything get through windows defender

I run windows 10, use Edge mostly, have IE set on high and use that to open, known risk sites , never had any issues. Malwarebytes is my go to checker, install, run, delete it, but it's always been clear.

When I worked for MSN, first question was... Do you have any Norton products installed... By far the number one PC fucker software.

can you send a screenshot ?

or more datails ?

OS and browser version would help

usually this is not a big thing to remove such things but you have to know exactly what you are doing.

btw. i am running my laptops since years only with microsoft defender and never had a problem.
when i used norton last time and tried to immigrate it to the new laptop it crashed and even the norton support that have been like 3 hours on my machine could not fix it.

there is a lot of software crap around. i remember that you have installed a firewall what even prevents you to follow a link to a site that does not have a favicon.
