Okay... I opened the settings, and the personal firewall settings are on "medium (recommended)". Although you see it notified me to the low threat above. Should I change it to "high" only?

That's the usual recommendation if you don't want to be bugged by non critical alerts.

Put it on high for a day or so and see what happens. If that doesn't work, try and see if you can get Nortons to remember your preferences based on the websites you visit. For instance, you don't want to be warned when you go to the FR page, tell Nortons that you don't want to see that warning when you log into your pager.

I guess what I am trying to say is, for example, the first time I run an application, Sygate asks me if I want that application to have access to the internet, I check "Remember my answer" and click Yes. From that point on, I can open my browser and Sygate remembers that I wanted the browser to be able to access the web and doesn't need to ask me again since I told it to remember my answer.

Otherwise, if I clicked yes without checking the box, it asks me everytime I open the browser.
