didn't find.

nav intrusion stopped/alert when I dragged that sears page from ie6 to firefox.
nav popped
up from systray, i paraphrase: "(stopped intrusion attempt... click.. more info)
"

info box said (as recorded in Activity Log):

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/attack_sigs/s21196.html
Microsoft Windows is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Color
Management
Module
Memory corruption resulting from this vulnerability may allow an attacker to
overwrite
sensitive variables in memory such as a return address or Structured Exception
Handler
(SEH), allowing the attacker to influence program execution flow. This is
sufficient for an
attacker to execute arbitrary code.


Possible False Positives
There are no known false positives associated with this signature.

this computer is kept patched, so maybe nav blocking "saved" the computer from
memory
wastage - i.e., not a *complete* false positive? semi-false? or bad
Sears-Roebuck, bad! ?
