...access chronod on your computer?

Hi,

I keep getting a message from Norton saying The computer "example using numbers and letters" is attempting to access chronod on your computer....." Should I Allow or Block?

Thanks,

Geoff

 

My problem is that I clicked "Always block" before I read any of these articles. Now, my external hard drive won't connect. How do I unblock it? NOTE: My Advanced > Firewall > Settings lists only Application Blocking, Vulnerability Protection, and Location Awareness. There is no Connection Blocking option as described in the article.

I got the same pop-up and it appears it is a dangerous file / a credential stealer according to a reddit thread.
