Norton 360 waking computer out of sleep mode?

Norton Security | Norton Internet Security

Hello,

 

I had put my computer into sleep mode before leaving it for the day. When I returned it apparently something from Norton 360 may have woke up the desktop from sleep mode.  Looking through the security history there is one message that is continiously appearing and this same message goes on for hours. It apparently woke itself up when an Identity function apparently updated itself and from there after there is a LiveUpdate session followed by this message that is constantly appearing.

 

The message is:

 

Firewall rule was matched:

Rule name: Default Block UPnP Discovery

Rule action: rejected

Rule severity: normal

 

Traffic Details:

Protocol: UDP(17)

Direction: Inbound

Local Host:

Local IP:239.255.255.250

Local Service: Port ssdp(1900)

Remote Host:

Remote IP: 192.168.0.1

Remote Service: Port ssdp(1900)

Remote MAC: --

Adapter Index: 11

 

Process Information:

Process ID: 1104

Process Path: C:\\Windows\System32\svchost.exe

 

Would anybody have any information on what this function might be?  It has been doing this all day and is still continuing to try to access the system.

 

Thanks

If 191.168.0.1 is your routher then its Universal Plug and Play (UPnP).

It shouldn't wake your system, seems like you have "wake on LAN" enabled in your BIOS.

Check for that BIOS setting, if that doesn't work and you don't need UPnP you can disable that function in your router.
