why do you use a program which output you don't understand ?

If you really interessted in an explanation ask Symantec, they should know
what they are blocking.

btw.
IGMP, is Protocol like TCP/UCP/ICMP, it is used for Multicast. So it looks
like a Program from you most likely MediaPlayer or RealPlayer tried to get
a Videostream from Internet and your Firewall blocked the access.
