I'm Worried About This Window That Keeps Comming Up

Postby Lunis » Mon Jul 19, 2004 6:45 am

Forgive me if this is computer newblike. A window titled "Norton Internet Security" keeps popping up while I'm surfing the internet. (It just started doing that today.) This is nearly exactly what it said:

Program Control

Medium Risk

bundle.exe is attempting to access the Internet

What do you want to do?

(choices)
Block
Permit
Manually configure Internet Access

OK (the OK button)
___

So that's what it said. I keep saying block. But it keeps comming back up every few minutes! What should I do?

If you didn't install a program named "bundle.exe" ... then it's probably a virus that's trying to reproduce. Check to see what folder it's in...could be a worm...or it could be a regular program. If you can, run a virus scan.

Hi Lunis,
I moved this thread to Computers, where it will likely generate more acurate responses. You may be interested in checking out this link:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.sahagent.html

According to norton.com, that's probably adware. They tell you how to get rid of it on the site.

Good luck, and let us know if it doesn't work.

Oldie ( :lol: ), you moved it to Goof Off. :eh:

I think. That's where I saw it...oro...

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

No, I had it in Goof Off. :lol: *lol* I forgot about the Computing section. Thanks Oldphilosofer.

I think I got rid of it for good. It was actually embarrassingly easy. ^_^; I just had to click the box where it says to always block it out. o_O Thanks for the help guys.
