Norton. Say no more.

I presume its a firewall your on about.

Zone Alarm is better and free. as a quick fix if it is the firewall, disable that one and just use windows own. then if you want to, switch back.

If it Anti Virus Norton I cant see why it would block you?

I guess removing Norton is about as straightforward as some people learning the art of patience

It will probably need a bit more force than my earlier suggestion.

I always turn Norton off, especially when he's presenting Strictly Dance Fever.

Force - how about a sledgehammer

Patience is not a registered component

For ever

You just have to keep ignoring the "Buy Zone Alarm Pro" windows
