Uninstall Norton, it's useless.

www.avast.com

Go there and download Avast! Home Edition. It's for free and will clean your computer right up!

It would probably be best to do a full scan, and quarentine the problem. Tell norton to delete the problem, and a popup probably should not happen. If not, contact systamatec, and let them know the specifics of the problem.

You should probably scan your system, and then quarantine the problems. It probably keeps coming up because you're just clicking 'OK' and not worrying about it. It's probably trying to let you know. So, you should probably just scan your system.

If THAT doesn't work, then you can go to symantec.com [Norton site] or go to google and type in 'norton antivirus issues' and it should come up with some help forums from different websites.

Good luck!

Get rid of the virus. Or maybe disable virus alerts, but that would be bad unless you do a scan regularly
