I have Norton Internet Security 2005 with all the latest updates. Norton has been displaying a warning and gives the following details:

Rule "Default Block NetBus Trojan horse" blocked (218.50.94.192,NetBus(12345)).
Inbound TCP connection.
Local address,service is (D3HK0181(70.230.215.134),NetBus(12345)).
Remote address,service is (218.50.94.192,2519).
Process name is "N/A"

Does this mean I'm infected with Netbus? I run scans but nothing is found.

To me Norton is just doing it's job & blocking NetBus.

Run both of these to give your comp a good check over.

a-squared (a-squared) is a complementary product to antivirus software and desktop firewalls on MS Windows computers. Antivirus software specializes in detecting classic viruses. Many available products have weaknesses in detecting other malicious software (Malware) like Trojans, Dialers, Worms and Spyware (Adware). a-squared fills the gap that malware writers exploit.

Please use the online update after the installation. Only then can the recent signature database be transferred and installed.
A powerfull anti trojan suite.Anti-Virus programs offer insufficient protection against urgently growing threats like Trojans, Worms, Dialers, Hijackers, Spyware and Keyloggers.That's where the protection of the ewido security suite starts and supplements existing security applications to a complete security system, because only a complete security system works effective.
By combining the free AVG anti-virus scanner, the free version of Ewido anti-Trojan scanner and the free Microsoft Antispyware scanner, I managed to achieve a 95% detection rate against a
particularly nasty set of 104 assorted malware products that I had downloaded from P2P networks.

I did the downloads and the scans. Only a few harmless tracker cookies were found. Norton explained the alerts by saying "instead of being infected with trojan horses it may be that a program included the viral class file" I have no idea what this means but anyway, I'm apparently not infected. Thanks for the help.
