    for the last several days someone has been trying, unsuccessfully, to hit me with netbus trojan. ill be on and a popup comes up saying a dns server with netbus trojan is trying to access and was blocked. i actually one time after telling it no i did not want to see alert assistant, which was reccommended, went into the trace utility for that. and found out its coming from korea. i tried to report this but i guess thery didnt care. i guess nothings gonna hurt as long as it keeps on blocking it.

    Yes ... everything is OK if Norton is blocking it.

    If you want some added protection, consider a router w/ a Nat firewall ... which will stop unwanted inbound traffic, whiles your software firewall will concentrate on outbound connections, and as a second line of defense for inbound traffic.

    Crazy M (Wilders resident FW expert) has a great site, on configuring Norton if you're interested --> http://www.gpick.com/agnisrules/index.html

    i had another one a few mins ago. this time i told it not to notify me next time it blocks it. so i shouldnt have it come up, just block it without tellin me. and i have it set to block for 48 hrs.

    Yeah, Netbus was made by cDc (Cult of the Dead Cow) around 1998 which they showed the first version over in LV.Unfortunately all versions to 1.7 doesnt allow firewall and antivirus deactivation.So I would think you must have Netbus on your system becuase it comes with an IP Address scanner that scans for computers infected with it.An average virus scanner would pick it up unless the attacker redid the server or if he compressed it with an unknown compressor.You would have to find it in the registery and delete it from there.
