Don't worry about asking questions, David; we're all here to help each other.

What was the security message? Was it in the log?

What's your issue with Norton?

udp packet source 212.58.227.80.8458 destination 91.135.6.94.6970 dos.

That's just the firewall doing its job; nothing to worry about. You're not being targeted specifically.

And Norton?

thanks when I was loading the modem yesterday I got a message that there is a Norton remnant in my system and I was wondering if I can download the removal tool and use that without adverse effect on my pc.my other machines are ok but this one the removal tool was not used just removed it manually,if that makes sense

That will do it. Soon, you'll be Norton free...

Hi David

As people have said, thanks guys

, it sounds just like the firewall is doing it's job. As to Norton, it would be worth running the removal tool, if that doesn't help, get back to us and we'll do it the 'dirty' way.

As to questions, if people didn't post them, I'd have to find something else to do.

Looks like it was probably a streaming service from the bbc, job done

Rik · Mar 14, 2008, 11:12:38

That's good, David. Norton is a real pest to get rid of.

Sebby · Mar 14, 2008, 11:13:25

Excellent news, David.
