My computer runs very slowly when these messages popup - i can't even get solitaire to run. I am concerned that some malware has gotten into my computer and is hijacking it. according to my task manager 100% of my disc is being used but i only see a few mb of applications running in the list. i have updated my protection, run a full scan and power eraser - nothing. I opened a tech call last night they re ran power eraser and did an msconfig and did something to repair my drive. It ran a good part of the night. contacted norton today to follow up on disc repair, they found and removed a competing macafee product. had me reboot and said that should be good and if not to contact them and they would escalate to level 2 technicians. Still getting the popups and slow performance when the popups appear. should i be worried that some outside program is making changes to my firewall? is it worth having this escalated? thanks.
