Ok... I keep getting this pop-up from my Norton thingie saying something is trying to access the internet and I need to configure a rule for it. Something from Windows/system/bin. djohn.exe.
What is that? I can't find much doing a search online. I think it's some type of hacker program, so I am guessing I should tell Norton to ALWAYS block it, huh? How do I remove it, if I should?
I know I've been getting alot of security alerts lately.
HELP!!! Thanks guys!!!

Dana it sounds like a virus or trojan thing to me too, let Norton Block access to the internet and then run a spyware program like adaware, if that doesnt solve it try a virus scan.

It may be one of those "Blaster"-type virii, they try to hook up to the internet automatically. You may need to end-task the program then delete it from your HD. You might also wnat to look at your registry- they usually insert themselves there so that they keep re-loading.
I found a link on the net that says it may be a hacker program trying to break into websites. Do a Google search for djohn and see what comes up.
