That doesn't sound like anything native to Windows XP. It may be some sort of
notice from an automatic update of one of your utilities.

It would help if you capture the complete message and then repost it here.

If so then open it up and look at the log files,you can also change the
settings so it wont show this all of the time.

Yup!

It is Norton again. I found him in the corner freaking out.
Now I gotta find out how to shut him up.
I do not want him changing new rules letting aliens control the ports.

I will try to catch the whole message but it is fast.
something about prot 32 and I got 6 today.

Like two for every post.

THanks...

It's an issue with the Norton program, not XP - maybe the firewall.
