This could be because you have automatic updates ticked. So the software is looking out towards Norton'swebsite to get the updates.
Open up NAV and check what you have ticked as preferences and see what you have.

rav4640,
have a read near the bottom of http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...hreadID=283681 for a possible explanation/fix.
So far i must have downloaded around 40MB of Norton "updates" in the last two and a half months. This can't all be new virus signatures, so it seems like Symantec are replacing huge amounts of buggy code at our (connection time) expense
