    I am using sygate pesonal firewall 5.5. Ocassionally a Norton
antiviurs window pops up saying :

Object Name: C:\documents and settings\NetworkService\temproary
internet files\
exploit[1].html

Virus Name: Trojan Horse

Action Taken: Unable to repair this file.

Although Norton can't repair this file it does not seem to be
giving me any problems that I know of unless OE window closing on
me and some IE pages not loading are a result of it.

I basically use sygates default settings because I have no idea
what most of the settings are. Is there something I can do with
sygate to keep from getting this exploit file? Or any other
virus? Or am I protected against this trojan horse since it
doesn't seem to be doing anything?

Also if anyone has the time to explain, can a temp html file do
any damage?
When I click the OK button in the nortons virus alert window
norton says access to the file was denied. But I can go to the
folder and delete it??
