I got a notice from Norton that a site 198.77.14.211 (read: DPChallenge.com) tried to unsuccessfully initiate something called a "Netscape Cookie Monster" attack on my computer? WTF? Admins? Anyone else get this? *Confused*
1. No new browser issue.
2. Every other page loading fine.
3. I'm not computer stupid - this was Norton saying it was giving me a virus.

Have you got cookies locked down really tight? have you tried allowing cookies for DPC in Norton? It may just be that DPC's ue of cookies looks suspicious to Norton.

On the main page - and not everytime I try and load it now, just once in awhile.

This also happened to me, and I believe it occurred soon after a Live Update from Symantec. It prevented me from logging onto DPC.
I had to configure Norton Internet Security's Intrusion Detection to not block DPC.
I suspect there could have been another way, but I couldn't find it. |

Yup, an update from Symantec can of course change what "trips the trigger" so even if nothing else has changed, if you're set for auto updates from Symantec, you can suddenly start having issues with a site if it falls afoul of the newly-downloaded defintions.
