Norton

[paula1961]

I've got norton security on my computer and I've been getting a pop up saying that this site is unsafe. It comes up in a box with red letters. It says I have 43 threats to my computer. Should I send a message to admin? I am concerned. I sure don't want anything to happen to my computer! Anybody else have this happen before?

I've used Norton before and not gotten that message. I"m not using it now though. I don't get any security notices on this site - but then I'm on a Mac.

I have used Norton and never got any such messages. I use Bitdefender now, and it has a weird glitch too.

You might try to uninstall Norton, and then reinstall it.

Norton caused by computer to run slow so I switched to Kasperky. I don't have any problems with it at all.

Bitdefender also slows the computer down. I think I have a few months left on it, and then I may try Kaspersky (sp?) It has very high ratings too!

I have been getting on this site anyway! Nothing has happened to my computer, apparantly not yours either huh? Maybe I will just send a message to admin. Did you click on full details? It has a big x and says site owner click here. It also has a name of the file or whatever that is supposed to be the risk. I'll open it again and post the name of that. I hope we can get this figured out.

Ok I just opened it and here is what it says.

Threat name
Trojan.Maliframe!html
Location
Gives this site

Says it's a virus

I'm sending a message to admin right now.

[Janet]

I've not had a problem so far.

Thanks Judy....my spelling was not right...LOL.

I just googled the virus. It seems to be a symantecs/norton thing. Here is a site that talks about it.

Wow Judy! Thanks for your great detective work! I am going to check those links momentarily. Thanks again!:)

That's the same stuff that I was having problems with. It's a really bad virus!! I hope you get rid of it. I changed my protection to AVG and I haven't had any more problems.

[paula1961]

I did get a reply back from admin. They checked the site and it is safe. Thank goodness. Judy was absolutely right. It is a norton thing. Hubby will be working on it tomorrow. I tend to fat finger things. He is better at taking it slow and easy lol!

[judy]

No biggie...I just googled it. I am very google literate, which means that if I want to know about something, I google it. It took me till this year to learn to do that!

According to Symantec, it is a low risk virus. It is their own glitch, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

No nothing happened to my computer to date not very computer savvy so was going to get my son to check when he was next home from uni.

As I said not very computer savvy so do I need to do any thing? or will my Norton software have taken care of it? :o
