Hi,
My Security Log is filling up with these:

Description:
The Windows Firewall has detected an application listening for incoming

The NETWORK SERVICE event happens every 1 - 5 minutes. SYSTEM happens
rarely. They are always svchost.exe. The port is random.
I'm actually using Norton Internet Security 2009, which may have it's own
firewall.
What's the best way to handle it?
Thanks, Fred
