Program Control message from Norton won't stop

[Don]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Norton Internet Safety pops up this message over and over: "ViewMgr.exe is
attempting to connect to a DNS server" and memu drop down recommends "always
block programs..." because of High Risk. The Path is:
C:\ProgramFiles\Viewpoint\ViewpointMgr.exe.; Protoco is: UDP(Outbound).

When I click OK to always block this program, the same message just comes up
two or three more time, and then again a short time later, and again....I
have set the program control to NOT notify me, but this continues. What's
up? Any Suggestions to resolve this would be appreciated.

Just uninstall View Manager from Add/Remove Programs. You don't need it
and it is "phoning home".

Malke: Thanks for your help! I have completed the delete and so far no more
annoying "attempts to connect" messages.
