Question Web attack blocked, should I be concerned?

I got a popup from Norton stating it blocked a web attack and no further actions was needed.

Here is the details of the popup.
(Red dot) High An Intrusion attempt was blocked

The attack was resulted from C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe.

The product you're using did the job it's supposed to do. I wouldn't be concerned unless the site you were at when you got the notification is one you typically visit.

Happened while logged into my xfinity/comcast email. The same time I got the attack notification, my xfinity email page was replaced with a error massage that the page couldn't be displayed/was missing. This has happened before, I'll be on my email or Xfinity's home page, and out to no where the page goes to the error message that the page can't be displayed/was missing with a notification from Norton that a web attack was blocked. A few times on my laptop(no norton since it's running Linux), my email/Xfinity's webpage redirected to a scam tech support page.

Sounds like part of that page (probably an ad) is suspect. I get the same from some Microsoft products. Just scan your system with anti-maleware and do a virus scan. If they come back clean, you're good to go.

Strange, was both devices on the same network?

I did a scan with Norton and malwarebytes plus malwarebytes adware remover and they all cam back clean.

Sounds like Norton did the job it was supposed to. No need to worry.

They were both on the same network. Only happens when I'm on Xfinity's homepage or Xfinitys email page.

How about if you go on the same sites, just on a total different network?

Haven't tried accessing from a different network, tho have noticed it doesn't seem to happen with ad and flash blocker extension installed.
