Xlib: No protocol specified (connection refused by server)

[mielikki1]

I noticed this. I don't know why norton antivirus is doing
this (or even what it is doing). I also don't know if this
is the problem.

I have NAV's e-mail checking turned off. I even disabled
"auto-protect" and it still is doing something with the
ports.
