I went to the site park18.wakwak.com when I was looking for a midi file, then it displayed something about ActiveX, so I closed the pop-up and it sounded like it was installing something. So I decided to check my logs and found this:

The following Symantec application was implicitly allowed outbound TCP connection:
Application: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccProxy.exe
Local IP address,port: 0.0.0.0,4840
Remote IP address,port: park18.wakwak.com(219.103.130.78),http(80)

Does that sound like spyware got installed or someone tried to hack me?

Yeah, I've had it installed for a couple of years now. The pop-up that showed the thing about ActiveX said something like, "Click OK to run ActiveX on this page," something like that. So I X'd the pop-up out, then the browser window locked-up for about 7 seconds, and it was fine after that.

I tried searching for files that were created on that day, around the time that happened, and I didn't find anything suspicious. So maybe nothing got installed and I'm just thinking about it too much. Also, I have Spyware Blaster, so that probably prevented it from doing anything.

I re-checked the above log-file, and now it doesn't display the website address, only the other information. Also, I have privacy protection enabled for Norton and have all my private information entered into it (credit cards, etc.), if I DID get infected with spyware, would that prevent my private info from being sent out?

I personly wouldnt depend souly on norton, a better program to get would be Zone Alarm. If a program wants to access the internet (e.g. to give away your personl files) Zone Alarm asks you if you want this program to access the internet, if you dont know the program you can denie internet access. Zone Alarm basicly watches what all the programs on your computer and checks for virses that want to enter your computer.

So if you think that the file is sus, then you should prob shold get Zone Alarm.
