what do u make of this?

[JackAndCoke]

i installed napster and was going to sign up when i got a message from zonealarm asking if i would give permission to go to 127.0.0.1
That seemed odd to me so i traced the ip to pop3.norton.antivirus , but i disabled the email scanning feature along time ago. how could i disable requests being forwarded like this? does any1 know why this is still on? netstat -n produces no active connections

127.0.0.1 is your localhost address. It's reserved for the TCP/IP stack. Napster is most likely just checking to make sure that you have TCP/IP installed, since if you don't the IP won't resolve.

why when i go to command prompt and type tracert 127.0.0.1 it says.. tracing pop3.norton.antivirus [127.0.0.1]
why is norton antivirus posing as local host?

Because it's intercepting data and protecting you from viruses.

yes i realize that its what the email scanning feature is. but why would it still be doing it after i disabled it..

where did you disable it from?
it is probably hiding in your start up files or registry.
