Norton blocked and attack by

Norton Security | Norton Internet Security
1

Over the last few days, I am constantly, and I do mean constantly, getting a little pop-up from Norton saying:

 

Norton blocked an attack by: Malicious Site: Malicious Web Site, Domain, or URL(1).

 

To the best of my knowledge, neither I nor anyone else who uses this computer, have been to any unusual web sites or downloaded anything recently.  However, if I click on the View Details link, the message is:

 

An intrusion attempt by www . download - servers . com was blocked.

 

Although it says no action is required, I would like to be able to stop this high risk attack from happening.  I am unfamiliar with www . download - servers . com.

 

Thanks!

Tim

If this is an intrusion attempt from outside your system, there is nothing you can do. The good news is that Norton is protecting you by blocking the intrusion attempt.

 

The site you note seems to be connected to download .com. Have you ever tried that site?

This is an additional piece of information on your system.

 

Try restarting your computer and see if things are working again.

 

If that does not help, it sounds like you may have picked up some kind of infection that may need a malware removal expert to fix things.

I would suggest you sign up at one of the free Malware Removal sites below. Do not try to do anything on your own as it could make things harder for the Malware Removal expert at that site to help you. Choose one and stay there until your system is clean.
