Re: Thought I'd try here...

another program.
I suggest you switch over to Zone Alarm and use that as your firewall. I
found that norton firewalls are not very good. I use norton AV but never as
a startup program but only when I'm running a virus check usually overnight.
ZA is the only program I start up with. If norton still shows a problem when
you run it manually then you must remove it completely and reinstall it.
As far as an AV program is concerned I recommend you also have and use AVG
6.0 which is free. You need more than one arrow in your bow.
