i keep getting alerts now and then from my norton firewall that there was an "attempt to connect local computer using the Backdoor/SubSeven trojan horse" is there anyway i can block this? is this caused by something planted on my pc?

hello is it trying to conect to your computer from out side? if so dont worrie. but if its on your computer trying to get out you have problems. d/l trojan remover its 30 day free trial and run it and try these scans free trojin scan http://www.trojanscan.com/trojanscan/scanner.htm panda scan http://www.pandasoftware.es/activescan/ housecall http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp nrav av http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/ avast cleaning tool http://www.avast.com/i_idt_171.html mcafee avert stinger http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ scans for open trojin ports http://scan.sygate.com/pretrojanscan.html test my sheilds grc https://nanoprobe.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 dsl port scan http://www.dslreports.com/scan pest patrol scan mediocre http://www.pestscan.com/Scan.asp security scan http://www.it-sec.de/index/inhalt/vulchk.php/?sid=2eb8ea121e57434616fa2c6f283c63b7 have a nice day If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something

im pretty sure its trying to access from outside. i started blocking the ip addresses that were coming in the alerts and now theyre just coming in thicker and faster. all the time in fact =\ im worried

As long as norton is blocking the incomming attempts..dont worry ....norton is doing it's job protecting you...but as wawadave said if you start getting strange outgoing requests from norton security....time to investigate...try the scans above to see....I get alot of logs too of sub7 among others incomming (blocked)..there should be an option in norton to not show all those alert windows popping up so they dont bug you...but the outgoing ones will still pop up because they need a yes or no from you to grant access ....hope that wasn't too confusing. Good luck
