Happily surfing the internet, checked several of the usual sites and got bored so I decided to check the forums.... then all of a sudden.
Intrigued I was, I decided to check out what exactly happened... the symantec information page gave some an insight about this attack as well as their support online too, the whois record for this ip address didn't really reveal much so I won't bother posting that info.
Now the million dollar question:
Whats the deal?!

Maybe you should update your Winders (windows OS)...

I passed this on to the admin. It may be important, or it may be norton overreacting to anything (norton does that too often)

One of the problems is you are using Norton. It over reacts, WAY to much, and the stuff it needs to catch, never seems to, and if it does, usually cannot delete it. If you want, PM and I'll discuss another AV with you, which is much better, and you never hear from it unless you actually need to.

The OS, all softwares, drivers etc are updated constantly every time a user is logged on.

It might be over reacting, maybe not but if you look at my logs I hardly ever get attacked... besides it the firewall that triggered it not AVG.
My current station is protected by both a hardware and software firewall so it's rarely that anything actually gets through, it's not like I'm worried about it as the software did its job, be interesting to know more from the source  Besides what would you recommend as a decent AVG? please don't say McAfee!

AVG. The actual program...
Ranger Rog
Hmmm, I got rid of AVG in favor of Avast a few weeks ago and as soon as it was up and running it found 2 viruses that got past AVG!
Pretty much any antivirus is better than Norton bloatware these days.

I keep getting these too. I don't worry about them too much. I also get portscan attacks from GwG, i'll post ss next time it happens.

Looking into it. We've had this problem before... here's what you can do to help us
 This is an image in the forum trying to give you a virus. You need to find for me the exact page that you received this error on. Last time it was someone's avatar. Which means that I need you to right click on people's avatar to try and find out which one exactly gave this to you. The windows update for this was released last year so if you are current on your windows updates then it won't infect you. Get that here if you haven't: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en ICC Profile data may possibly be embedded in various file formats, including JPEG, GIF, EXIF, TIFF, PNG, PICT, PDF, PostScript, SVG, JDF, and CSS3. You can get more info on this virus below: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/att...gs/s21196.html This also covers the portscan you are getting Ventius.

virus via someones avatar? wow..*updates antivirus software*
 --edit-- you evil keyloggers will not get me!1 ;x
Tarun
It's Norton. Since when has that software ever worked properly? Never. It's just a false positive.
If you want a good free firewall, look into Comodo Firewall. If you want to pay for an awesome firewall, get Agnitum Outpost Pro. Malice Black
download.com <~~best place for freeware etc
