IE Unauthorized Usage Blocked: Set File Attributes?

Norton updated this morning and a huge blob of these medium-class warnings started appearing in history, but only when opening Internet Explorer. They say:

 

Unauthorized access blocked (set file attributes)

Actor: SVCHOST.EXE

Actor PID: 936

 

Unauthorized access blocked (set file attributes)

Actor: IEXPLORE.EXE

Actor PID: 4236

 

Someone else reported this same problem on the 360 section. It started at roughly the same time for him. Could an update have caused this? It was absolutely fine until sometime after midnight.

Are you using NIS/NAV/N360 2010 or 2011?  We've addressed extraneous logging with our latest SONAR update (Feb 28, 2011)
