Everytime I start up, a message pops up saying that a
program needs to connect to a web site, usually saying
something along the line of "pwned.afraid.org" or some
other jibberish. Norton doesn't make a difference when it
even works! If anyone has a clue, please let me know.
 
Hi,
For update your Norton and download Ad-Aware SE and
Spybot. Uptadate them too.
Run your computer in safe mode, Make a search. Proably
this a trojen, or spyware you can defeat it by using the
software i adviced.
Kind Regards
