NortonInternetSecurity (NIS) blocked a PHF_CGI attack from one of my networked comps to my main comp. I can find no info on this with google. Anyone have any clues ?

Are you running a web server on your main comp?
More info on this here:

Looks pretty harmless.

No webserver. All four comps use a router to share the cable connection and all four only share the "Shared Documents" directory.
*Edit: Update:
Seems to be something to do with Folding at Home. I get hit with the security alert only when I restart the folding program.
