Help me

For months now, everytime I open my itunes I get a warning box from Norton saying that the Bonjour Service is attempting to open and I can choose to Permit or Block. I always say Block but the box to do this pops up over and over and over until I minimize it until I am done using my itunes! This is sooo frustrating! I want it to be Blocked for good!

It comes up with this

Path:

c:/program.../mDNSResponder.exe

Address 66.31.97.230

Local Port 5353

Remote Address (same as above address)

Protocol UDP

 

Anything anyone can advise me what to do would be appreiciated....and why once I block it isn't it always blocked ?!

 

Thanks in advance,

Starrdust

Hey Floating_Red

 

My version was orig. installed 2005, but I have updated it every year, including this one...

 

So it is Norton AntiVirus (OEM)

Version 11.0.16.4

OEM(90)

 

And in the past, when I was pretty sure that the Bonjour service was a legit thing and I permitted it, but the box from Symantic STILL came up everytime I open itunes..over and over and over

 

So I guess my question is...how can I get Norton to stop saying it's a threat and stop the **bleep** pop up box ?!!?

So, does that mean you have Norton AntiVirus 2009 installed on your computer currently?

I think the starrdust is still using the 2005 version. The 2005 version gives such popups.

Hi Ash007 and Floating_Red

 

Yes, I have the 2005 version installed and update on-line thru Symantic/Norton every year

 

Any ideas to stop the pop-ups?

Starrdust23,

 

Allow that program next time it comes up. Also you can set the firewall rule allowed for programs like itunes

 

Go to <options> in Norton Internet Security 2005 main page

click on Firewall

select the first and second options <Program component monitoring> and <Program launch monitoring> select the option configure near to that, allow the itunes

When your Subscription is about to Run Out, please Upgrade to Norton Internet Security 2009/2010, depending on when your Subscription is due to Run Out.  How many Days are left on your Subscription?

Ok !

Thanks to everyone that tried to help me out and responded.....though nothing you suggested worked (there is no firewall file to go to in the Norton antivirus version that I have (2005)

SO

I went to the Apple msg boards,...and since I don't file share or care about having Apple TV...this is what I did and it finally stopped the pop-ups from Norton because I disabled the Bonjour Service, which I don't even need!

 

I went to Admin. Tools....clicked on Services..clicked on Bonjour... at the Start-up Type choose to "disable" and at the Service Status you have to choose to "Stop",...click Apply and then go to ITunes and open...

 

Viola...no more Norton pop-ups 

 

There will be one more pop-up "warning" you that Bonjour is disabled yadayada...but you can just click that away

 

Thank God

 

Thanks to Ash007 and Floating_Red for your attempts to help me. Much appreciated. You gave me some good clues on where to look
