Hey everyone! I got a notification when I opened my laptop, and I'm unsure what it means. I've shared a picture of it in the comments. Can someone explain what this might be? Thanks in advance for your help!

When did this popup show up? Were you doing something specific when you opened your laptop?
Yeah, definitely consider removing Norton; it's often labeled as more of a hassle than a help. Windows Defender along with a good ad blocker should be plenty for you. Stay safe!
Haha, seems like Norton isn't very popular among you guys! Appreciate the info!
It looks like you're seeing a message from Norton. Just so you know, a VPN (virtual private network) is designed to mask your IP address and give you more anonymity online, but it can slow down your internet speed. Personally, I'd recommend ditching Norton; it's known to be pretty bloated. Windows Defender is a solid free alternative that might work better for you. Just remember, even the best antivirus won't catch everything, so stay cautious!
The subscription ends in May, so I might switch to Defender. It’s concerning, though, because someone I know has tried to hack a relative. Should I be worried that they can access my laptop since they have my Wi-Fi info?
Thanks for asking! I literally just opened my laptop and this message appeared; I hadn't touched anything yet!
