As a result of input form listers I loaded Avast. All seems well except it says it is disabling itself because it detects Norton (which is 'switched off') and then goes on to scan email etc !!!! However, I have one question for the experts. A message pops up very so often to the effect that it has blocked an "attack" from 'DCOM Exploit' and gives an email address such as 206.172.157.190:135/tcp. Now is this a normal thing to be continually 'attacked' by this DCOM thing? Did Norton block these attacks but never let on? Can I blast back, complain to someone, or just switch off the pop up and relax?

Regards
Barrie
