I have Norton personal firewall on a DSL line and run XP. The firewall periodically tells me c:windows\system32\svchost.exe is preparing to access the internet. I have blocked traffic whenever I see this. Symantec says this file is a legit filename and NAV does not identify it, but it is also the name of one of the files placed on the computer under BackDoor-AQT (McAfee)—and my thanks to whoever it was who published some of this info in another thread. I cannot find this file by searching Windows even with all files shown. I should assume it is a backdoor, but I am not clear what to do about it given the Norton ambivalence.

I have more questions but none matter if I have a backdoor open right now. I’m getting really twitchy watching the monitor every second. My ability to research this is limited by my paranoia about being online. Advice?
