+WalruZ Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 all of a sudden, whenever I load a gc.com page, norton anti-worm pops up to report "http ms ie object element data dos" on some random port. I found a symantec page that addresses the topic - http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/attack_sigs/s21422.html fyi.
btrodrigues Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 FYI, this issue is also breaking the possibility of me browsing the website using Opera Mobile on my Nokia N70. The browser parser just dies with an "invalid symbol" after reading the first few lines of the document. Is there anything you guys could do to sort this out?

I found a symantec page that addresses the topic - http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/attack_sigs/s21422.html fyi. Did you do what that page recommends? Response Upgrade to the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer and apply all available patches. Did this fix it?
+Prime Suspect Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Since no one else is reporting this problem, I think the problem is local to the OP, and not a GC problem.
+WalruZ Posted October 14, 2007 Author Posted October 14, 2007 I don't even USE IE (bleh) I use firefox. Granted, perhaps not everyone has norton worm alerts popping up, but i figured perhaps the web lackey would at least be curious enough about it to look at it. bad html is bad html.
+Miragee Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Out of curiousity, I thought I would send one of my cache pages to the HTML Validator to see how bad the new code is. At the bottom of the very long page, I finally got this message: <snip> Error: end tag for IMG omitted; possible causes include a missing end tag, improper nesting of elements, or use of an element where it is not allowed Line 121, character 41: ... <img src="../images/nav/menu_di ... ^ start tag was here The maximum number of errors was reached. Further errors in the document have not been reported. If the code was cleaner, I bet Norton wouldn't be confused. Also, I'm pretty sure the pages would load more quickly . . .
