Norton AntiVirus is "Blocking a hacking/malicious website intrusion attempt" whenever opening BitCoin-QT.
Info:
Network traffic from checkip.dyndns.org/ matches the signature of a known attack. The attack was resulted from \DEVICE\HARDDISKVOLUME1\PROGRAM FILES\BITCOIN\BITCOIN-QT.EXE.
I have moved my 1.766 BitCoins to another location....is this a virus something to worry about?
Please only reply with facts and not speculation of what this might be.
Update:
Scanned Computer [FULL SCAN] and it was clean.
Each time BitCoin-Qt is opened, the message pops up still!

Ok, I turned Norton AntiVirus off, but now something "Trojan.Zbot" has been 'detected' and 'not blocked'. Is Trojan.Zbot part of BitCoin too? I found the file and opened it and let it run, don't wanna lose my BitCoins!!  |

Trojan.Zbot
http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan-spy_w32_zbot.shtmlIf you have been infected with this then I would be very wary to access any banking/bitcoin related stuff on that machine until you reformat and reinstall. What site did you download your copy of Bitcoin-QT from? |

Norton is good for one thing.... rebates lol. But on a side note +1 for you being proactive and not trusting just any program.
Try another anti-virus. Some can be real pains to get rid of on malware. Is it first time you have gotten this warning, or is it happening with other programs?

Also try scanning with multiple programs. One malwarebytes, avg both free. I would reboot and try again. Some can be a pain to get rid of.

Just delete Norton, worth your while, less pop ups. If you really want an antivirus Avira Free is my favorite choice.

Take off Norton it always gives fake alerts just because some programs behave similar to viruses and trojans, download Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast. |

Sounds like you got a virus there with trojan.zbot. Best not to run bitcoin on that comp until it has been thoroughly cleaned by someone who knows what they are doing, or perhaps even format the comp and clean install.

I got the same thing from Norton today, both from running Bitcoin QT and Litecoin QT.
Network traffic from checkip.dyndns.org matches the signature of a known attack.
I've etablished from this thread that there is no threat, but why is this occuring? I have been running Norton alongside QT for over a month and this only occured for the first time today.
