Hi lists: sorry for the cross posting, but you will see why I'm doing so in a very short while. I was wondering if anyone using norton internet security 2005, who has recently updated their system using live update, has downloaded a set of system security updates, the download size being around 930 kb. I have found, that after downloading this update, norton internet security no longer lets me access internet explorer or my email on outlook express. By disabling norton internit security for a short while, I am able to access everything, so I know this is the fault of the norton product and not my computer. I have followed the instructions for clearing my firewall rules and reenstating them, but this does not want to work properly. I do not want to uninstall and reinstall the product, as I have extended subscription on this pc, and this might be affected by the reinstillation. Anyone else running nis 2005 had these problems with the new update? I am able to download email, as the problems do not extend to the virus scanning portion of the product. any help with this will be gratefully recieved. Hope to hear from you soon From Martin.
