Whenever I go onto specific websites across the world wide web like Yahoo or Flickr. On the bottom right of my computer screen, it clearly says: “2 intrusion attempts have not been blocked “. Under that, it has a fix button, I clicked on it then I turned off my internet connection (because I thought that it would be more safe to do so) and waited. But nothing at all happened, I know this because when I went onto the Norton 360’s status, to check if they have been blocked but they haven’t. I am really worried about this because it keeps happening regularly. Norton 360’s settings are set to automatically block these attacks but it doesn’t seem to be working. My computer’s quite fast so I don’t see how that viruses and spy-wares could have anything to do with it. I normally update and check my computer daily(sp?). The only thing that I can think of why this is happening is because 2 firewalls and Windows Defender are running on my computer but I feel more generally safe when they’re on. Please help, thanks!

Windows defender is a poor antispyware program with real time protection & is safe to run with Norton.
You say you are using 2 firewalls - you can only run two firewalls if one is a hardware firewall (in your router) & one is a software firewall, so if your running Norton firewall (software) & windows firewall (software) you need to turn off windows firewall.
I know a lot of people do not like Norton most of my friends who use Norton run free malwarebytes along side Norton (this is safe), i would add the following both free:
