    Just an FYI. I was at the front page and went to check out the article about the Ford Fusion Energi. I clicked on one of the links in the article and Norton shut everything down. It logged it as an Intrusion and severity of Critical. This kicked off the Active response which put the severity at Major. Remote host IP 199.195.144.4

    So yeah... just thought I'd let you all know.

    It could be that Norton was just doing its' job. I clicked on the link and McAfee had to remove a trojan.
