why when i log into messenger does a message pop up saying that norton is detecting a worm?

Because your software is seeing information come through a port that is not on it's safe list. Just hit 'allow always' or whatever message gives that option.

1) It may be due to Internet Connectivity Problem(slow).\n2) It may be due to corrupt of some of the files of   messenger software.\n3) May be ur system attacked with virus \n4) Low system configuratioon also a problem\n5) If someone login into your a/c also at the same time u logged. Better change your password regulary\nThanQ & Good Luck

this is a virus that is saved where Norton dose not scan which is in the windows programming that you downloaded that is why it dose not detect it. but to fix it you need to get another virus program. there are good free ones Microsoft recommends CA virus software. and use windows defender, while you are at it get a spywere program. to stop this from happening again don't go to websites that are questionable in nature and scan any file you download before you open it.

It's a real problem. Does not matter what is the worm, it blocks your attemts to get rid of it. Try link below: maybe, your worm/virus still does not know it.\n!!! One thing more: you *have* to install some antivirus and firewall software. In any other case, you will get such dirt again and again.

What is the error it is showing. If it is a virus, use an anti virus software to remove the virus.\n\nOr it may be because that u have previously installed a messenger and that might not have been removed. May be thats why there is a problem in installing the messenger. So completely remove your previous messenger and then try reinstalling your new messenger.\n\nOr if a system file is missing, you have to go to www.microsoft.com check for updates.

Go to your tools bar in internet explorer and go down to internet options. Then adjust your privacy settings to a lower setting to allow blocked cookies and such. Or check if your system has a firewall turned on. Firewalls, especially if you have norton antivirus, usually screw up instant messengers.

"Yahoo IM Users: Be on the lookout for worm that pretends to be safe browser = \nA new worm that spreads through the Yahoo Instant Messaging application infects computers and forwards itself to those in the IM contact list, then hijacks your browser home page and replaces it with a web site that loads spyware onto your computer. Even worse, it plays on computer users' security concerns by passing itself off as a "safe web browser" called Safety Browser and uses real- looking Internet Explorer logos.

yahoo is not affiliated with norton in updating it's definition file. its your internet connection. open control panel > internet option > check for your connection

Maybe is the firewall or the anti virus just turn it off and when you open the messanger turn it on.

Perhaps you have the W32/Sohanad.I Worm?\nInformation and removal procedure is here:\nhttp://www.pspl.com/virus_info/worms/sohanadi.htm\n\nAnd tell all your friends to NOT click on the link that the virus is sending them, they could become infected also. \n\nAny links received in an off-line Instant message should never be clicked-on, even if it says it is from a person you know. That is how these messenger viruses spread!\n\nGood luck.

I have Norton Anti-virus protection for my computer, and I haven't had any viruses get through yet. It scans everything- e-mails, messenger, whatever you set it to. The free ones you can download don't catch everything- I got a few of those Trojan viruses that AVG didn't catch.  I paid about 50 bucks for it, but it was worth it.  I never worry about my computer any more.  www.symantec.com

This is what happens when you install Norton and use Outlook 2003. They conflict and cause masses of problems.\n\nUninstall Norton completely. Download AVG http://free.grisoft.com.\n\nIf you require the a firewall program I would recommend Zone Alarm. If you need an anti spam program try Spamfighter \n\nGuess what - all those programs are free!

You might have a faulty file with your norton anti-virus software. I would try un-installing it and re-installing it again. If that doesn't work, you should try to contact your vendor to see what's up....
