Security → [help] Private Info alert

I have a problem that has just cropped up and thought I would ask for help here first.I have Norton Personal Firewall.Today I'm getting getting alerts from it that state that DSLR is asking for Social Security info from my PC.Does this make any sense?I only have this problem when using this site.Any suggestions?

Forwarded this question to higher powers though I'm sure this site would have no use for your SS info...

I'm not getting that, but for awhile this morning I had to click refresh three or four times to get the page to reload. I got an error (BBR) page indicating the site may be down. After 3 or 4 click it would reload properly,

Hmmm....does NPF have a feature similar to Zone Alarm's ID Lock(Alerts you whenever your personal information in myVAULT is about to leave your computer) ?

Oh yeah, you are just suppose to simply PM me your social and that will go away. JKBTW

I'm not familiar with zone alarm but your description is right on..

maybe you SS numbers are the same as the values somewhere in the DSLR cookie. Million to one coincidence, but could happen. Try deleting the cookie, then log back on to DSLR.
Good Luck...
edit: Most likely this is the problem. To confirm, view the contents of the cookie and see if the characters in your SS number match any character strings in the cookie. OK..

I was also going to ask if you were doing any Distributed Computing here at BBR but only after I found the thread where a similar occurrence came up. I'm unable to find the thread and I'm sure this goes without saying but I'll state here what the others in that thread stated also....BBR\DSLR has no desire to have your SSN. Sorry I can't find the thread that might help put your mind at ease.

similar occurrence thread....Zone alarm pro ?

Thanks for the thread Bubba.That's exactly the same problem I'm having but with Norton.They ask you to enter your last four or five digits of your SS#,credit card# etc.and if a site asks for it you get an alert.I thought it was a pretty good safe guard but maybe it's more trouble than it's worth.I'll have to wait and see and disable if I have to.Thanks much for the help.Seasons' greetings to you and yours.

This is a known issue. If any site requests those numbers that you entered it will alert you.

Your odds are better that this will happen less frequently if you enter your entire SS# in NPF. The same thing is true with your phone number and other data as well.
