hi mag

i appreciate that you posted that bugnet article calling attention to a flaw with norton's email protection.

i want you to know that i just went to the gibson site, shut down za and blackice, and ran his two tests. results came back STEALTH all the way. the bugnet article states that port 110 is exposed. here is gibson's results for my port 110 with just norton products running:

"110 POP3 Stealth! There is NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that a port (or even any computer) exists at this IP address!"

for the record, i am running nsw2001 on this partition, but will boot into w98se where i am running nsw2000 and try the same gibson tests there. but i am confident that symantec has addressed this issue long ago, and if you are one who likes to update frequently, then you are good to go with norton's email protection.

but i'll report back.

thanks again, mag

:)
