Norton keeps blocking attack?

Hey all,

I don't know if this in coincidence or not, but it seems that ever since I installed the game, I keep getting hit by MS SQL Stack BO. My Norton anti-virus blocks it, but it is somewhat disconcerting when it happens many times daily. I'm hoping someone more computer savvy than I can tell me if this is related to the OOTP program, and if there is a danger to my system. Thanks in advance--Strat.

I don't think this is related to OOTP, as it does not use a SQL database. It does a SQL dump if you tell it to, but that is just raw data.

You are being attacked by a hacker that is trying to get through on the MS SQL Stack overflow. Make sure you have your Virus software updated. Check for viruses. I would also recommend that you go to Panda Software and run their online version of their Virus software. Your virus software may have been compromised.

Thanks for the advice, i coulnt run panda, but i ran several other scans (using the malware removal guide from Majorgeek.com) and there was a bunch of bad stuff in my computer. Im working on eliminating the malware now.

Thanks again.
