Symantec now has an update to Personal Firewall which will block AdBots

pcworld.com

Snip :
"Simply using LiveUpdate may not change the way Symantec's security products handle adbots, however. If the adbot has run even once under your original firewall installation, the program has already configured its rules to permit Internet access.

The best way to wipe out the rules and start fresh is to uninstall Norton Personal Firewall or Internet Security 2000, reinstall the program, run Live Update immediately, and restart the system so it will configure firewall rules only using the latest application lookup engine. "
