Default Block Network Trojan Horse
A computer with the IP address 216.78.24.16 (which turns out to be Bell South) just attempted to connect to my computer using one of these. I've got all kinds of info on the IP via my Norton Internet Security program.

Should I email their abuse department?

1. I have been getting dozens upon dozens of these notifications
the past week (also using Norton Internet Security). If you track the various IP addresses, they are all over the place, but many have at least one legitimate node (i.e., Bell South and others). But, the jumps worldwide are amazing, so I don't know that contacting BS would have much impact.


At least you know NIS is blocking...

2. Thanks for your input...
I thought it was kind of interesting that Norton's recommended action was to ignore the details. My gut reaction was to try to get back at whoever was sending me a virus! :evilgrin:
