I just got attacked by a trojan but my norton blocked it, it let me view info on it and it sayed it came from a computer with the Ip Address of bla.bla.bla.bl
I just wanted to know if there is a way to track that person.
Not for any bad reasons just curious?

Thank You

You mean track where they go on the internet? No. Not unless you were to get their ISP to hand over the records or you were to send them a trojan that would track their movements and report it back to you.

If you operate a website, you can track where they go on your website.

And the fact that Norton said it came from a particular IP address doesn't mean a damn thing. That computer was probably infected with the trojan and then attempted to infect yours.
