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.

If it was the services and controllers thingy, you probably don't have to worry as much.

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

Interestingly enough, I got a notice that there was an attempt to use the "Backdoor/Subseven" trojan with that same IP attached to it. 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...
