basically i'm creating a new thread for this because i haven't found anything recent on it. i'm assuming since the problem still exists there has been no permanent fix made to the program, but if anyone is aware of a safe workaround that doesn't involve just making the notifications disappear or adding the file to a list of exceptions, i'd appreciate some help with it.
the problem is every 3 minutes or so symantec displays a popup notification:
"Traffic has been blocked from this application: ntoskrnl.exe"
my log displays the following:
date & time: 1/20/2011 10:59:17 PM
action: Blocked
severity: 10
direction: Incoming
protocol: UDP
application: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
rule: Block NetBIOS UDP protocols
