Windows 10: Norton dangerous website pop up

I just tried to log on to my outlook/email account, and a Norton alert popped up - "This is a dangerous website" with the option to continue to site. I've never seen this before. Is this a scam, and if I did continue to website, is it ransomware? How do I access my Hotmail?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft community forums!

I would recommend you follow the below given steps and check if it fixes the issue.

Follow these steps to run Norton services:

Method 1:

If the above steps do not help , I would suggest you to contact Norton for further help.

Original title: Enbedded Norton in WIndows 10

Recently upgraded PC to Windows 10. Norton Download Manager continually pops up, telling me to install upgraded version of Norton. The problem with this is, I am not running Norton on my PC. I have followed the steps recommended by Norton for removal of
this, however, the pop up returns after a short period of time. I have even had Norton access my PC, and they thought they had resolved the issue. The only thing this did was delay the return for about 12 hours. I am not running any Symantec software on
my PC, ergo, the issue seems to be embedded in the Windows upgrade. Norton is supposed to be a virus removal product, however it is clinging to WIdows in a manner that suggests that IT is a virus. Any ideas on how to get this finally off of my platform?
