ATTACKED IP from Google on TP
Dennis I'm running Norton Internet Security 2004 up dated to 2005.
Security is: on
personal FW: on
Intrusion Detection: on
(notify me when ID blocks connection box checked)
(auto block is: on)
Block Traffic is: on
Privacy control is: on (medium)
Ad blocking is: on (default)
Sorry to be a pain but these just started 3/16. Either my setting got changed at that update or Google has changed their operation at that point.

ATTACKED IP from Google on TP
Tractorpoint Operator Note:
Please DO NOT go out and install Symantec Internet Security 2005. Based on this report I made the fatal misstake of installing it on one of my backup machines that was working GREAT before the install. I am very &*%^*^(*^&&*^&* off at this point for doing what I intrinsically believed to be a misstake.
I was just trying to replicate Harvey's issue now I have problems. I noticed during the install of the &^*&^*&^ SW that it was going in too many areas for my liking.
Now I am paying the price losing alot of valuable data and time for *&*(&(*&*( darn it! Looks like I wil be foreced to rebuild the machine. BEWARE!!!!!!!

Dennis,
I have been running Symantec Internet Security 2005 (and all of it's predecessors) for the last 3 months or so and it has been working great.
I have been gone for a week and signed on to the internet and did my normal stuff for an hour or so and as soon as I signed on the Tractor Point, I also got the message of an attack. I have been on the internet for several hours since and as soon as I go back to TP, I get an attack....solution coming?

The fix as far as I can see is to disable the Symantec product. I can tell you now that I had to resinstall my operating system because of it (Norton Internet Security 2005) I will not be looking into this any further from that regard (ie installing that product anywhere).

From my perspective this is a false alert. If someone disagrees exactly what if anything is happening to your PC from the supposed attack?

I wouldn't install Symantec/Norton anything on my machines. They pollute the registry and waste too many clock cycles doing a mediocre job. Products have been written specifically to clean up after the mess they leave behind. Even uninstalling them can do bad things. Yech.

Norton TOTALLY sucks! It will screw up the Window INI files not to mention nearly impossible to totally remove once installed. DO NOT use it! I did and paid the price too.

Hey Guys, At the risk of sounding like a jerk, I had to chime in. Being a Macintosh user i'm curious, What's a virus? Sorry but I couldn't help that. Hope you get things straightened out.

Yeah, windows is pretty crappy. Nobody has written a virus on QNX either, which is what I develop on, but the application base is pretty small on that OS. Sort of like a Mac.

Sorry Dennis about your misfortune. I've used Norton for several years. It has never let me down. I do agree it does get into many places I may not need it. However that's, in my opinon, a cost of having to many people with to much time on their hands to write malicious code.
The 2005 version has been on my PC for over 6 months now so it's not 2005. It could be a daily update but I doubt it. It has something to do with google looking in.
Google is a fine company I am sure, I think it is the best engine out there. But why all of a sudden do they need to see what we are looking at here.
What is a good quality security software.
