Sounds like you have been infected with malware, i.e. your computer has become a robot for some hacker to send out spam. The symantec firewall is blocking the SPAM from going out and is telling you every time it does.
You need to run run something like f-secure to clean off the malware. Odds are the malware you have is smart enough to hide itself from NAV. It's probably hiding behind a rootkit.

Symantec is your computers anti-virus and those are warnings that your computer is severely infected and is being used as a spam-bot. Sending out hundreds of spam e-mails per hour without you consent.
Scan your computer immediately with both your anti-virus and your anti-spyware programs.
Good luck.

For information superhighway Explorer purchasers, deploy Spybot, to assist get rid of and look after from destiny scripts. For Firefox purchasers upload the addon, "No Script". P.s. domicile windows Defender is an exceptionally gentle accountability virus scanner which does no longer have a solid adequate detection to discover common viruses.

If you have anything Symantec or Norton installed, remove it immediately. Install an AVG antivirus, Adaware, and Spybot S&D and scan. Also stop using Internet Explorer and use Mozilla Firefox

Symantec is Nortans Anitvirus software. If you have NAV on your computer do a full system scan.

what elese does it say? is it red? if so then it probably is a virus notifier that tells you a virus has infected your system you can click the virus's name and it will take you to a page from norton saying wat it is and if you can how to destroy it. Symantec is just the publisher of norton and maybe its just notifying you to run live update to update you virus scanner. HOPE THIS HELPS.
