Q10607 - FAQ: Norton Internet Security and website page breaks
Norton Internet Security causes breaks in the web design of many
sites. As you can see below, it blocks ActiveX, Java etc.... You will
need to configure your Norton application for surfing sites that use
the latest technology to bring you an excellent experience.
>From the Symantec Support Site:
Cannot see all of a Web page when Norton Internet Security or Norton
Personal Firewall is installed
Situation:
When you visit specific Web pages, the entire page is not displayed.
If you disable some features of Norton Internet Security or Norton
Personal Firewall, the entire page is displayed.
Solution:
This problem happens when Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal
Firewall has been configured to block scripts, ActiveX controls, Java
applets, referral information, or advertisements.
ActiveX controls and Java applets can be blocked by customizing your
security settings from the main interface. To find out whether this is
the problem, read the section "Customize security settings."
All of these security features (scripts, ActiveX controls, Java
applets, referral information, and advertisements) can be blocked by
specific Web rules. These rules are located in the Advanced Options of
the program. For scripts, ActiveX controls, Java applets, and referral
information, see the "Web rules" section of this document.
To customize security settings for Norton Internet Security or Norton
Personal Firewall 2003/2004
1. Open Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall.
2. Double-click Personal Firewall.
3. Click Custom Level.
4. In the "Customize Security Settings" window, look at both the
Java applet and ActiveX boxes.
If either or both are set to block, lower the security level.

How referrer information blocks portions of Web pages
When you open a Web page that includes graphics, the Web server for
that page may use the referrer information to display the graphics.
This happens when those graphics are stored on a different Web server
than the one you are visiting. In this situation, the first Web server
sends a request to the graphics Web server to obtain the graphics. The
request includes the referrer information. The referrer information
enables the graphics Web server to send the graphics to the correct
location.
When you block the referrer information, the graphics Web server
cannot send the graphics to the correct location, and you do not see
the graphics that your current Web server would normally display.
How Ad Blocking blocks portions of Web pages
The advertisements that Norton Internet Security and Norton Personal
Firewall block are often parts of Web pages, rather than entire Web
pages. Norton Internet Security and Norton Personal Firewall know
which parts are advertisements because the advertisements use specific
coding. Norton Internet Security and Norton Personal Firewall compare
the coding on the Web page against the Norton Internet Security and
Norton Personal Firewall default list of advertisement codes to
determine whether a part of the Web page is an advertisement.
