All of a sudden I started getting the following popup:
"Norton blocked an attack by: IRC Identification Signature. View Details"
Clicking view details shows the following:

Been using Mirc and NIS for about ten years and never have had a problem and I'm stumped at what could be causing this or how to fix it.
