Hmm...I have this app called Norton Internet Security on my new computer. It gives me this alert message every 10-20 minutes:
Security Alert!
Attempt to connect to local computer using te NetBus Trojan horse was blocked.
And it says that it was blocked. What's this? This Norton thingy apparently monitors all my apps that connect to the internet. Is this "trojan horse" a virus or something?? When I check the Alert details it says:
the following communication was detected:
Protocol: TCP (Inbound)
Remote Address: 211.110.39.242 : 4442
Local Address: arkistan (211.110.xx.xxx) : NetBus (12345)
A remote computer (211.110.39.242) attempted to connect to your computer on a port commonly used by a remote access trojan horse. The attempt was blocked.

Is one of my programs trying to invade my conputer?? Or is it simply an overly-dramatic way of saying they blocked a little pop-up ad? I don't know much about all this stuff, but it doesn't sound all too friendly. What going on?!?! Somebody help!!! All I have running on my computer right now that seems to use the internet is :
Winamp 3.0
MSN Messenger
Internet Explorer
