Threats to laptop

[ruthie]

I have had several threat attempts blocked by Norton today. The title of the threat was USER-TOSH. Has anyone any idea what this is? Apparently, according to Norton, it is a high risk one. Should I do anything before logging on again?

Is it a Toshiba laptop? If so what your looking at is more likely the address where the virus / malware or whatever is located.

Thanks for that Count-A-Strong. Hope it disappears soon. It seems to happen when I am on the Weight Watchers site. Other people have had the Norton message too on the WW site.

Its probably a false positive if other WW website users with Norton have experienced it. They probably have a coding fault or some such on the website.

We had something similar on Answerbank a while back.

Thanks Daffy654. It seems to have cleared itself now and I have changed my password for the WW site.
