Virus conspiracy

Please tell me if this is done already, this is my first thread in the UL section and I feel like maybe I have something new.This is a post I found on another forum I'm on, and I looked around, but it seems that everything about it just happened today.To me, this is quite important. To both users and non-users of Norton Antivirus software. Recently a few of you may have had a popup saying that 'pifts.exe' wants to access the internet and asks for your permission.Pifts.exe seems to be attempting to contact a server in Africa and so far it is known that it reads and records your internet browsing history. When Symantec customers posted on the forums asking about it the posts were removed and the users were banned. Banning their own customers is a little strange, just what are they trying to cover up?Virtually no information is available on pifts.exe on the internet and when something appears the website is immediatly removed. Even Digg went down for several hours for posting about it. Furthermore, when I run a Google search for 'pifts.exe' it says there are around 300,000 results but the search has been tampered with as only two pages show.A few moments ago the Symantec website went down for 'maintanence' and when it came back up all of the pifts posts were removed and the word 'pifts' was banned from the website.Also, one person contributed this:PIFTSPublic Internet and File Tracking SystemIt goes offshore because there's no law forbidding sending it to foreign governments. If governments want to spy on their own citizens, it is normal for them to have foreigners do it in order to get around normal restrictions about spying on their own people.This is why there have been reports of the file sending data to Africa.
