178595 2003-09-28 05:33:00 My Norton Personal Firewall is giving the following message

"A remote system is attempting to access Ad Blocker of Tweak-XP on your computer"

Can anyone shed any light on what is going on here?
Should I permit it or block it permanently?
What would access Tweak XP's Ad blocker?
This is not the first time this has happened. I have not let it have access yet.
Cheers

178596 2003-09-28 05:53:00 I don't think anything should be trying to access that, but if it was, I would put it down to sites that display ads, but cannot because of this Ad Blocker with Tweak-XP.

That said, generally with a firewall, it's safe to block incoming connections, especially those that you didn't originate (unless it's with an application like ICQ or something similar).
