Norton broke their silence. http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Protection-Blog/Symantec-Comments-on-PIFTS-exe/ba-p/74968#A282 http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Protection-Blog/Symant... Apparently it was just part of the update but it went out unsigned so it tripped the firewall. Some users were causing trouble so they just nuked all forum posts and accounts with the word PIFTS. It looks like maybe a bit more then that was going on, but other then some fighting with customers there's nothing special going on.
