Concern about FFchat security

-N- · 07-27-2005, 12:51 AM

Every once in a while on IRC I get a message from Norton saying it blocked a trojan intrusion attempt. I don't think it's from a particular room, and I'm usually too busy to follow up on the IP it spits out. Can anyone (clout, Roo) look into this?

If you're too busy to follow up on the information you're given by Norton or any information from your IRC client, we're too busy to help you

No-one else has reported such a problem

Here's how I read it:

"My firewall says it blocked something while I was connected to IRC. Help."

Very useful how much you've told us, yes?

Hey, no need to get your panties in a twist. I just know that me and a few other people are seeing these things pop up, and Resha had her computer go down once from a trojan attack on FFchat. I don't need any help; I'm fine. Otherwise, this would be in the Help Forum, not Feedback. I want to point out what might be a problem.

All you're pointing out is your computer is moaning about something, but you won't say exactly what

From the given information, the problem is either your computer and/or it's configuration, or your incapability to comprehend what it's telling you

I don't recognize the IP - but I'm guessing it's using IRC to attempt an attack on my computer.
