This morning when I tried to log on to my PC via AOL, I got a
notification from Norton Systemworks that Norton Internet Worm
Protection had detected and blocked an intrusion attempt. Intrusion:
Veritas Netbackup Shared Library BO. i was then not allowed to
complete the log-on to AOL.

When I checked this out at the Symantec website, it stated there was
a fix available for Windows XP but when I clicked on that link, all I
got was that there were two fixes. One for Netbackup Enterprise
Server Server/Client 5.0 and one ford 5.01. When I scan my PC, I
can't find any evidence of even having any of these items.

Can someone please advsie me as to where I might locate these files
or find a patch for this issue?

I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but I find it very unlikely that
someone who logs onto the internet via AOL would be running veritas
netbackup on their PC.

I think its far more likely that the norton chicken little firewall was
making a big noise about detecting someone else on your broadband internet
segment playing with a hacking tool that looks for Veritas Netbackup. If you
are not running netbackup (and you would know it if you were) then there
most likely is nothing you need to "patch" or install.

There is probably a measure of irony in symantec tools making a big noise
about saving you from a hacking attempt that would only be a threat if you
were running an obscure "corporate" system that is actually also a symantec
product itself...

I'm always surprised at "professionals" who STILL have to be asked "Have you
checked (event viewer / syslog)".
