[Symantec] NNTP = TCP now?

Since I downloaded and installed the new version of Symantec
Redirector today (27 April), Personal Firewall (a component of
Norton Internet Security 2002) has been treating incoming NNTP
as if it were TCP. I used to have a rule blocking all incoming
TCP, but now I've had to remove it to let NNTP in, so now I get
annoying pop-ups every so often asking me if I want to permit or
block an incoming TCP connection. Aargh!

Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas what to do about it?
