My Dad has a Dell Desktop PC with XP Home, P-4 1.8 and Norton Internet Security.

About every few minutes he gets a pop up in the lower right corner that reads: “Norton Internet Security rules automatically created for the program Microsoft Messenger.” This appears when he’s using Outlook Express and the Internet. I tweaked my PC in the registry to disable MS Messenger but didn’t want to his PC unless it gets rid of this message. I know it’s common for an occasional Norton pop up when they update the virus protection…that will pop up on mine maybe once a week as I use Norton Premier.

Any ideas what causes this MS/Norton pop and how to get rid of the pop up? It's driving him nuts! Also, he does not use MS Messenger or have it set up for use.

Thanks,
Mike
