Just recently, after having installed Windows 2000 sp4,   Norton Internet
Security is reporting hack attempts coming from what appears to be
Microsoft.

No I have disabled autoupdates.  When I manually run it it asks for outbound
permissions which I allow.  This is an inbound attack.

...if 't' is only allowing outbound permission how are the updates getting

just curious as I had to give permission for outbound and inbound when I
added Norton Firewall.
