| #1 Posted on 22.2.04 1314.01 Reposted on: 22.2.11 1314.32 | OK, I'm on my Mom's PC, and a Norton alert pops up asking to use the "Win32" something or other service, and reccommends allowing it because it's "signed" by Microsoft.
I blocked it, then tracked it. The IP that it "says" it was coming from was a DoD computer. A .mil address. Needless to say, this is a little creepy.
Anybody seen anything like this before? And before you ask, no...I won't post the IP this is creepy enough. Promote this thread! | | Guru Zim

Then again, my tinfoil hat is over across the room so maybe I'm being controlled by the man right now? | cranlsn

So unless, the DoD is in the habit of trolling lower-middle income retiree's computers, someone is either spoofing the IP or bouncing it off a weak server.
...the tinfoil hats not a bad idea though...
