Guest Tim Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 I keep getting the warning from Norton that it has blocked an intrusion attempt by "MS ASN1 Integer Overflow TCP". What does this mean and what can I do to stop it? Quote

Guest Timmy boy Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Sorry guys, the Symantec notice is much too complicated for an ordinary person to understand. Also it does not include a fix from Microsoft for VISTA users.

In fact, i kept getting different intrusion warnings from norton since i've connected my cablemodem directly on my pc. That happened on XP and Vista. The curious thing about it is when my pc was connected on my router, no msgs appeared. What i found out (and it appears to be the response so far) is that Norton disables Windows Firewall by default. So, i went to control panel and enabled it. Other thing i did was turninf off everything on Sharing and Discovery menu, in Network Place. (This screen: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/e...05dcad1033.mspx) After doing those things, i stopped getting those annoying messages. I hope you can understand what i did and try it. Good Luck. Quote
