XP Pro, SP2


I'm using Yahoo Music Engine. My Norton Personal Firewall tells me the app
is trying to listen for connection (TCP) on Port 80.

Is that OK?

Thanks.

should not be an issue, it is a known program(well to you anyway).....let it
do so

Port 80 is a typical http traffic port. Yahoo music uses http to communicate
with the music server. I wouldn't stress too much about it, but always make
sure that your virus definitions are up to date.

Just so's I understand -- I'm talking about allowing _incoming_ on local
Port 80...
That's OK?

If the program in question is some kind of sharing app then I would not have
a problem with it. I would make shure that all contents of the share folder
are scanned for virii etc on create.
