Game over man! Game over! What are we gonna do now?! No one above seemed to make it clear that they got anything from a peer to peer network, they said it would be much easier than trying some complicated hack as you were 'theorizing'. So lay off the snide insinuations. I'm sorry your getting bent out of shape that some folks are not taking your cries of alarm to seriously but as JennyK covered in the info about the Xmas deal "There are reported incidents where legitimate traffic may cause an intrusion detection system to raise "false positive" alerts for this event." As a computer technician who does this sort of thing for a living, I consider Nortons to be slightly above actually being infected with a virus. It's buggy, gives false positives far to often, and many times indicates the wrong type of attack is occurring.
