Norton only does that if your game is reaching out to the internet - did you want that?

Normally with Norton you get a list of options when it detects suspicious behaviour. Next time it pops-up have a look at all the options listed in the box, there should be one for 'permit always', select this and it won't remind you in future.
There may be different instances of suspicious behaviour so you may need to keep permitting. Once each different instance has been 'permitted always' that should put a stop to the pop-up.

First things first. I don't care if you bought it or not, and if you did, how much paid for it. It's CRAP, CRAP, CRAP. One of the worst products on the market. Is it secure? Yeah. TOO secure. You can't take a dump without it wanting to know where it came from.
Click start, control panel, add/remove programs and uninstall it. You more than likely got it "free" with your new Dell or HP/Compaq computer. Do yourself a favor and kill it now.

Buy Norton security software!! Isn't it weird that, of all the companies to get a pop-up from, u get 1 from a software security company? But, seriously, i have no idea.

hi, i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. which is most powerful in popup blocking.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

Go to the firewall settings and manually allow it....Tell it where the .exe file is (programs) and you should be ok....Before that, check to make sure that you check the little box that says something like "Always use this action." when the popup occurs....Any update will cause the message to appear again.
Good luck
