seriously annoying monitor alerts!!

I want to be polite, but honestly after 2 days of searching and tweaking everything I can see on NIS 2012 I still keep seeing these seriusly annoying popups just above the icons on the lower left of my screen. So will somebody from NORTON please tell me the answers to the following questions in plain English!

1, exactly waht are these messages?

2, what am I supposed to do with the information- there is never anything useful in them just ""monitor alerts""!

MOST IMPORTANT - HOW DO I TURN THE  things off permanently?!!!

 

Please dont tell to RTM, I have tried several times, it just turns into complex gobbledegook!! Internet searches show nothing osf use though I see others also complain about them!

 

Win XP Pro (new install)
