Warning on Bootup

[BernardStewart]

I am running NIS Pro with all latest updates.

When I boot my workstation I get the following warning as it boots into XP:-
"Attempt to connect to local computer using the NETSPY trogan horse detected
Prog: Explorer.exe
Path: windows\
Protocol: TCP Inbound
Local Address: All local network adapters"

This warning pops up three times on booting and then goes away.

Do I have a problem or is this a false report?

just got a reply from Symantec:-

this message typically occurs on computers that run Windows XP when the program Fax Service is enabled.
The Remote Address of 127.0.0.1 indicates that the attempt to access your computer is being made by a program on your computer, and not by a Trojan Horse program. Blocking this communication prevents the local program from functioning correctly.
To resolve the issue, disable the Norton Internet Security (NIS) rule for the Netspy Trojan Horse.
