Anyone know why this message would be coming up in the Outbreak Alert menu?

Outbreak alert cannot display information about rapidly spreading threats because there is no internet connection or no current info available.

This is a concern because i have viruses running wild cause Norton stopped working after six months and i can't see whats going on. Any ideas? Should i be worried or not.

Get a different antivirus program. There are several free ones out there that are just as good if not better than Norton. My experience with Norton was awful, it took up a lot of resources, was slow, and missed things that other programs got.

Try Avast or AntiVir if you need a good antivirus program. Install, update, then run a full scan in safe mode to make sure you get everything.:thumb:
