I've been using notpad2.exe on Windows Xp for months. But starting today Norton is reporting "C:\Program Files\notepad2\Notepad2.exe is preparing to access the internet".
Being shocked by this, I used the Norton Smart Firewall to block C:\Program Files\notepad2\Notepad2.exe.
In spite of this, I still get notifications that "C:\Program Files\notepad2\Notepad2.exe is preparing to access the internet".
The question is: how can it still access the internet?
And how serious is this? Do I need to go through and change all passwords and user names written in any text file on the computer?
