Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

This morning I started getting Intrusion alerts when accessing the www.cnn.com website.  This prevents viewing videos and local news/weather on CNN site.  It was not occurring until early this morning.  Any way to permit CNN site without having to globally disable this specific Intrustion prevention item?

Hi siliconman01,

I just noticed the same alert with a different website and have I have flagged the issue for Symantec.

Hi siliconman01

Interesting you should mention this, I was viewing money.cnn.com only two hours ago and started getting intrusion protection alerts. I found it strange, but there was an option to ignore the alert in future. I let it go, but made a note to watch for such alerts in the future. This could be a false positive, as it is an extremely active website, so let's wait and see.

I got the same alert as well when I open the blogs that embeded Windows Live Messenger widget.

(And yap, I use Traditional Chinese version.)

Out of curiosity, did everyone involved here get the updates from Microsoft between yesterday and today as I did?

[taothao_2000]

Yes, I installed the monthly Microsoft Update this morning (Wed 10).

[tcnineteen]

I did, too.

A big false positive problem. We have IDS updates at wednesday. Maybe this problem will be fixed.

Ditto to Microsoft updates.
