NIS lots of Program Control "unrecognized modules" bogus warnings

[tom.tulinsky]

Suddenly I am getting lots of warnings from Norton Internet Security
2005 like this:
"Iexplore.exe is attempting to access the internet using one or more
unrecognized modules" ....

The dialog is titled "Program Control" and then says "Medium Risk".

the only choices are Block Once or Permit Once, tho it seems to
remember my
choices, except for (ironically) the Norton programs CCAPP
and LUCOMS.

Besides Iexplore, other safe programs causing warnings include wmplayer
(Windows Media), Mozilla, even the Norton programs CCAPP and LUCOMS.

Help says these msgs are caused by "Program Component Monitoring"

A full scan showed no viruses and neither does Auto Protect, tho I turn
it off most of the time to increase speed.

Just before this happened i installed
- MSN Messenger 7
- Firefox "Free Download Manager"
- Firefox extension FlashGot mass download tool
- Firefox extension SAGE RSS reader

Running Win XP SP 2, with all automatic updates

Double click the NIS tray icon. When the NIS window opens, click options,
then Norton Internet Security Options. Is anything checked besides "Stealth
blocked ports" and "Permit all except suspected attacks(recommended)"?
