If you're running Symantec AV, take a look at the top item at http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?date=2004-01-08 . Since there's an MS Office plugin, I don't know that just disabling AV would correct this. I don't use it myself. |-----Original Message----- |From: Naren - Pactech [mailto:naren () pactech net] |Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 5:41 AM |To: security-basics () securityfocus com |Subject: Some abnormal behavior when opening excel and word files .. | |Hi guys, | |I have a problem with a site .. | |When the PC is connected to the LAN, opening local Excel and Word files |take abnormally long time .. disabling the AV does not make a |difference |.. and a lot of SYNs are shown to the Verisign IPs of |crl.verisign.com .. |198.49.161.200 - 198.49.161.205 - 198.49.161.206 | |However, if the Network cable is disconnected, the Excel and Word files |open faster ... with no connections attempted to crl.verisign.com .. | |Anyone have any idea what could be the cause ? | |Thanks in advance .. | |Naren | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethical Hacking at InfoSec Institute.
