OK Folks:
I removed Norton as it was due to be updated. I installed a 15-day free trial of Zone Alarm and like its features.

That was ZoneAlarm Pro...the regular version is always free for personal use, not just for 15 days.

My worry is that a little shield in the taskbar from Microsoft tells me I have no anti virus protection--but Zone Alarm says it is on.

ZoneAlarm is not an antivirus, it's a firewall. It offers some email protection, but you should also use an antivirus program. You can pruchase both the Pro version of the firewall and an antivirus program from the zonealarm website. www.grisoft.com also offers a great antivirus called AVG and the pricing is for a two year license, most others are for one year. As with ZoneAlarm, there is a free version of AVG for personal use. I use this on my windows computer and have been very happy with it.

Help. Thanks. Jan O'

Don't know much about Norton per se. does it include a pop-up blocker and/or firewall? The pop-up blocker may be preventing sign-in windows. The firewall might not be set for your sights to be in a "trusted" zone.

On Saturday I downloaded Norton Antivirus 2006 and since then have had
nothing but problems. It seems as if the program changed something in
my computer, and so my yahoo messenger does not work, websites where
you have to sign in do not work, and certain buttons do not work when
you click on them . For example, even in the NAV program itself, I can
not get it to load bully because nothig happens when i click on the
word "Next". I wanted to do a system restore, but i can not even get
that to open.

The support that norton offered was useless. They also included a
statement to the effect that maybe my computer problems were
"Coincidence". I will probably have to hire a tech to figure this out,
but wondered if anything similar had happened to others, and if so,
how did you fix it?

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
