ICC Profile TagData Overflow and Norton AV

Featured Replies

Has anyone here with Norton AV seen a marked increase of alerts for the "ICC Profile TagData Overflow" worm. This is the one that passes itself through image and data files such as JPEGS. I have gotten atleast 4 alerts in the screenshot forum here, and a growing amount throughout the web. Norton detects and blocks it from affecting the system, but with auto block activated, it blocks the IP address from access for 30 minutes. (I can override this manually or by rebooting) My own AV scans and spyware sweeps are clean so I know it's not me. According to Norton they claim there isn't any known false positives. Other sources on the web claim Norton's being over sensitive and that there isn't any problems with most of these files. My guess though is that since MS has come out with a security patch addressing this, and there isn't any known fix to affected files or systems that other AV software is letting these pass, which are more and more presumably beniegnly if you have the security patch (Which I do) throughout the web. Others claim the security patch is not a 100% guarntee against infection from this vulnerability. So I'm reluctant to turn off the autoblock feature. It's starting though to become a real pain in the you know what! Especially when it's occuring in my favorite forum!! Does anyone have any insight into this?Thanks

Thanks
