ActivePerl Overflow

[John Broen]

My Norton Firewall has recently been pinging up trojan
alerts stating http_activeperl_overflow as the source.

The tracker states it's a pc on my network... I'm not on
a network. I'm a home pc user. Windows XP.

Symantec suggested I "allow" it access. My PC's
manufacture, Dell, were a useful as a soluble lifeboat.

Any advice?

1. Update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. Do both
daily from now on.

2. Protect Your PC
