    I have just reformatted my system and reinstalled Norton Personal Firewall 2005 and now every few seconds i get popup alert saying

    the following details were found in the event logs...

    Details:

    Intrusion: Invalid Destination IP Address.
    Intruder: HOME(192.168.1.33).
    Risk Level: Medium.
    Source IP address: HOME(192.168.1.33).
    Destination IP address: 0.0.12.0. This IP address is invalid.
    Protocol: UDP.

    My PC is connected directly to the modem/router and it is the only computer in the network. I have looked for ways of changing the block rule and I have also tried creating a exclusion. both failed.

    Any ideas?

    Oh by the way this is my first post. Would like to say hi to everyone here.

    Steve,

    I did find that webpage via Google, but 2003 and 2005 seem to be different, when you follow the steps as instructed on the symantec webpage you cant get past Point 4 as there is no Signatures button you can press.

    I have found the solution,

    If you click the Intrusion Detection tab there is an option to "configure" click this and on the next screen click the "advanced" tab. Hidden within that list there is a check beside "Invalid Destination IP Address" uncheck it and say goodbye to those annoying popups.
