God forbid a company have secrets!
It is most likely a possible Norton exploit that they are keeping quiet; not some program that beams home credit card info to Norton, or the government.

McAfee just needs to go away, at the 2 organizations I have worked at that use it, both might as well not have any anti-virus at all. Infact the first place switched from Norton to McAfee and has had relentless virus issues after the switch.
The new Norton has been almost completely re-written, and is much much more effective (not to mention uses under 10mb of RAM).

Ha, I dont use antivirus. Never trusted them myself. I guess my speculations are right

The whole FBI thing is kinda sketchy though. I would think they would force windows to update not norton. You would cover more people if they went to microsoft.

Do your homework on Norton 2009 guys. Seriously.
The amount of resources it uses is minimal, there is virtually no performance decrease when using it, and it picks up nearly everything. Im happy to use it on my sig rig.

In your face, Norton lovers! Not only does Norton miss things because of poor design, but it misses things because of intent. Yay Symantec!

A little bit, but sounds fairly common for an exploit.
Could be it hijacks Norton's Liveupdate and tries to have norton connect to the server in Africa (or what ever is proxied off that) then downloads more nefarious stuff.
I doubt you get it just by having Norton, it is probably caused by some other nafarious software (AV 2009 any one?) that then downloads other stuff.

Exactly. I was selling something on craigslist the other day, and like 8 people tried to get me to send it to Nigeria. Sorry, im not sending ANYTHING, not even PACKETS OF DATA, to Africa, let alone nigera.
