Running Norton security products from Symantec? Update now!
Norton Internet Security 2004, Norton Internet Security 2004 Professional, and Norton Personal Firewall 2004 have some serious bugs which allow a bad guy to send toxic data to them and crash your machine or take it over.
Symantec is working on fixes. If you asked your software to get updates automatically, make sure it's actually getting them. If you update manually, then update at least daily until this clears up.
Meantime, I haven't heard of bad guys taking advantage of these bugs. Until that happens, you're better off with the Norton software than without it.
