Anyone concerned about this Norton warning should do a search on "TCP_Xmas_Scan" to see that it is a relatively common warning that does NOT usually require action. If you do a search, you'll see it's rather common. It is possible that our site having multiple IP addresses causes some to get that warning. I use Norton too, but haven't received that message. I think it's because I don't have my settings as sensitive (I don't care to know about minor things that don't need attention). I can say that the site was running slow due to backbone/bandwidth issues. That caused several SQL errors, but the slowness was not related to the Norton message you received (above). We do occassionally get DoS attacks and have to fight over zealous crawlers (search bots), but we try hard to keep the site (servers) running at their best. We do have adds running that do not direct back to us, so seeing ads about credit reviews isn't highjacked banners :) We did get complaints about the "Central Smileys" banner ad that was running (because when you go to their site it does want to load a bunch of junk on your computer) so we have removed it. Our Marketplace does not load spyware. If you have pop-ups when you're browsing the MP, then it's ad ware that is already on your computer. I hope that helps resolve any concerns about the RMP.
