Have you changed anything on that computer's config? Like the Windows Firewall settings? What does it show on the PC itself?

rRn malwarebytes  <a href="http://malwarebytes.org" title="http://malwarebytes.(" target="_blank">malwarebytes.org</a>) on the infected PC. ( Free and easy product to use)The pop up that comes up is a sign of malware. Unfortunately, Symantecs is not the best product we are finding out, for spyware issues. After that is run and cleans your issues, you should be able to update your AV.. We have had this happen many times. due to spyware hosing up the dat updates.We run v10.1 and will probably be looking for something newer this next year.

hope this helps.
