I closed a tab in firefox and got a warning that an intrusion attempt by IOT was blocked. That is the name of my computer but the severity is high. I has a few attempts earlier yesturday and I am wondering if maybe someone actually got in and messed something up. I am using Norton internet security 2011 version.

Norton is doing it's job by blocking it. Have you seen any symptoms?
Please come back and let us know after you have read over the other thread. Thanks.
So according to the other post it looks like I may have nothing to worry about. Ill give the info anyways though just in case I am misinterpreting things.

It looks fine, as demonstrated by floplot. Sometimes it is difficult to tell without the entire notation.
