Hi,

I just downloaded Apache2Triad 1.5.4 in order to test some php scripts on my pc....I thot no prob....what a cool compilation...

Well just now, my Norton Antivirus gave me a message saying that a remote computer was trying to access my PC and asked me whether to accept or block...

So now, I'm kinda freaked out because I'm not sure if this Apache2Triad is a good thing or not, I thought its just some software bundle to simulate a website on my pc...

How or what should I do? Does anyone here have experience with it? It has had many downloads already...

Or is there a way to configure the thing to block off any live connections?

Just to further clarify, I never even set it up to do anything yet, just only launched the execute file to install it...thats all..... no php scripts installed yet,,....nothing....so why would a remote computer know about my pc now, and try to access my pc?

My alarm bells are ringing...Can anyone advise?
