I was looking at Norton Anti-Vrus 2005...

Norton Anti-Virus 2005 has built-in worm detection which works by detecting which applications are listening on specific ports. My guess is that you have this feature enabled and it's configured to trigger on ident.

It's not saying FlashFXP is a virus but it detected worm like activity because it was acting as an ident server.

Since I use a hardware based firewall I have this feature turned off.
