a couple=20
of days earlier=2E Also, it seems to have updated my firmware, as I am =
unable=20
to boot into my Linux installation=2E It powers down early in the boot =
process=20

Anyways, my Powerbook G4 is now shutting down spontaneously at odd inte=
rvals, 30 minutes, 47 minutes, 93 minutes=2E=2E=2E and I am getting the=
 same type of message reported as above=2E Any ideas as to what this is=
 or how to make it stop?=20

I believe the behavior may be linked to a TCP Exploit on Port 80, based=
 on Norton Internet Security=2E Norton is telling me 46,595 notificatio=
ns in the last half hour alone=2E "Outgoing Access Attempts Allowed"=20

Said behavior also seems to be tied to orcsweb=2Ecom and Peak-10=2Ecom=2E=
=2E=2E=20

Did you have any success in tracking down the problem before?=20
