Lestat.You have PTSnoop on your computer?Has Norton detected it during a scan?Go to Symantec's website and do an online scan to see of it is a real back-door trojan or a false positive.I searched thru the forum posts and it appears that PTSnoop may also be part of the Windows system,therefore a legitimate program.If it is found to be a back-door trojan,download a trial version of Trojan Hunter or any other good anti-trojan program.That will get rid of it.Regards.JB
