Ok, I've just got the following message from Norton NetSec 2004:

A computer with the IP address 127.0.0.1 sent information
that is characteristic of the URL_Directory_Traversal attack.
Question is. What is this exactly ?
is it a 'normal' operation ?
is there something I'm doing / not doing ?

I'm still finding my feet when it comes to securing my system.
I'm aware of what 127.0.0.1 is,

From Google (our friend)

OS = Win 2K Pro SP4 all patches, IE 6 all patches.

I run AdAware, SpyBot S+D v1.3, Swatit Pro, Registry Mechanic.
All updated, all ran recently, those that can, run in the back ground all the time.

Checked here, and the tale is that it isn't much of a worry, but I would appreciate some feedback to calm these frazzled nerves...................

Thanks in advance
