Err, R'osity doesn't use Microsoft SQL... at least they used MySQL as a base the last time I saw an error msg from it. Also, a Norton client wouldn't have any way of accessing enough of the RMP's server to determine what everyone else is doing there (IOW, you can't see everyone else's connections to the RMP, just yours. Consequently, unless your own machine has been compromised to alert someone when you hit a certain URL, there's no way for a "hacker" to tell whether or not you're connected to the RMP.) Are you sure that your own computer hasn't been popped? Setting Norton to "high" security don't mean jack when there are a plethora of security holes gaping wide in XP (even with Service Pack 2 installed...) If you're using Internet Explorer the odds of catching something nasty are even better. To top it off, your firewall and A/V software are only as good as the last time you patched it. Heh - glad I use Linux and OSX to do all my Internet shit... /P
