Norton's firewall keeps informing me that personal information is trying to
be sent to bay107.oe@hotmail.com/cgi-bin/myemail address/folders/ACTIVE. Is
this a worm that someone is using to steal credit card information, because
that is what triggered the blocking message.

Well, you've certainly got *something* on your computer. Make sure your
NAV or NIS is a current version (not earlier than 2004) and that your
subscription is active and definitions are updated. Assuming that it
is, scan with NAV in Safe Mode. Then scan for non-viral malware.
Directions for how to do this and how to get into Safe Mode are here:
