I am setting up a new Windows 8 PC and I looked at the Norton Security History and saw the two messages below (among others). I was not sure if it is a problem prevented, a normal message or a problem I need to worry about.
Thanks for your help,

The reason the Teredo Tunnelling is dropped and unprotected is because it is not in common use at the moment. We are all still using the IPv4 protocol and have not migrated to the IPv6 as yet.
There is an interesting test here that can advise on your readiness and that of your ISP
