over the past day or so i have been getting constant pop up messages from norton telling me it has blocked an attack by trojan.cryptolocker. the messages literally pop up every second or two none stop. it is annoying. is there anything i can do to stop it. when i clicked on view details there was an option to click that said stop notifying me and i did that but the messages keep coming anyway.

Cryptolocker is very nasty as it encrypts all your data and then demands a ransom to unencrypt it. Sounds like it's present on your computer and Norton is fighting to stop it running.
Well they would never get that out of me. Theres nothing that important on my system. It would be cheaper to just get a new pc with different security to Norton.
Yes it did but I can't remember it and I am currently not on the PC. The ip is different to mine which suggests it is not on my system doesn't it?
trojan.cryptolocker.AF activity 2.
attacking computer - 62.252.172.241, 80.
attacking url - sso.anbtr.com/domain/local.swarmcast.net
Does your router have a section where you can list and block that attacking computer's IP address?
