I have been getting a lot of blocks from norton firewall of the backdoor/subseven trojan. I have tried several online scanners and found nothing and have even tried reformatting with the CD's coming with the computer. I get at least one block every half-hour and frequently more. Any help would be appreciated.

I've also been seeing a lot of subseven port probes the last few days,10-18 a day, and just block them. I usually get 2-3 a week. I called my isp and asked about unusual activity and they said most likely someone released a program to cause these attacks. I also do a trace on the probes and send a report to their isp, if that does any good. Hopefully this will ease up soon.
