         I am not sure I understand. If Norton is configured properly, then
it should block inbound attempts to your computer. If you are tired of
seeing the pop ups, then disable the notification of them in Norton
properties. However if your computer is trying to access the internet going
outbound on port 135, then you probably have the virus and should take steps
to eliminate it. --- Steve
