Greetings, Phil_D,
Yes.
I got this Intrusion Prevention notification when I was using N.I.S. 2008, but am sure the Attacking Computer was not mine.
I would be happy to provide details if required.
The details of the Blocked Intrusion probably show an "Attacking url" which tried to execute the remote code.
Your computer may be shown as the "Attacking computer" because the "Attacking url" tried to invoke your Flash Player or Shockwave Player.
Symantec employee Tim Lopez is looking into this.
In the mean time, you should confirm that your Flash Player is the most up to date version which currently is: 9.0.124.0
Thanks, Phil
I didn't know this. And this explains what happened to my wife last night when she was let to a site by a google search.
Flash Player Version: 9.0.124.0.
Hey mijcar,
At least it did not occur when you were viewing "Waitress"!
(For other Forum members: inside humor referring to this previous post)
Hi Floating_Red,
With the latest version of Flash Player installed and having Norton, you are protected.
We'll just have to wait for Tim to get back with the technical details to see if these are instances of drive-by attacks.
Best wishes.
Hello.
So there is nothing on my system? Is this confirmed?
I don't believe there is anything on your computer.
I have had two similar occurrences - one instance on each of two separate computers and each was after visiting a different legitimate website.
Remember, NIS blocked the intrusion attempt.

I know it was Blocked.
But there could be some sort of Bot or Internet Threat on my computer.
I really believe it was a drive-by attack that was blocked and nothing was placed on your computer.
You could run a full system scan in Safe Mode just to be sure and you could also download the trial version of Norton Anti-Bot and run a scan with that.
Red, I think I had something similar to that in the past. the Norton folks indicated it was a blocked drive by.

Excellent.

Would like it if a Norton Staffer or Tim to confirm this please.

Already installed the Norton AntiBot Trailware a few months ago and there is no Scan Mode with that.
And N.I.S. 2009 has Anti-Bot Protection; does the F.S.S. also Detect Bots?
Hi Floating_Red,
I really think you're okay, however if you would feel more comfortable, download, install and update the FREE version of Malwarebytes.
Run a scan with that and see if anything comes up.
It is an on-demand scanner, so it won't interfere with Norton.

I already have that as suggested by you for another Issue and ran a Quick Scan [Malwarebytes] and nothing came up.
I do Norton manual Quick Scans whenever Norton 2009 V.D.s have been installed, and nothing has turned up.
