My personal opinion is that I want anti-virus/anti-spyware to be separate
products from any type of "firewall" product. So I would replace Norton (Symantec) with a version of the product that is anti-virus/anti-spyware only, or at least it needs to give you the ability to turn that particular component off. However that may no longer be possible (and/or sometimes it may still get in the way when even turned off), which means you may have to look at some other brand of AV/ASw Product. There are even some free ones like "AVG Free", but you should shop around a little. As for the firewall protection you can just use the Windows Firewall that is already in Windows. I think it is a little less "maniacle" to deal with. That's my opinion of what I think of the poor quality and over-kill direction that many "security" products today are moving in. But that is just my opinion. I just don't buy into the whole Unified Threat Management (UTM) mentality that everyone is glomming into,...I want separate distinct products for different jobs so I can choose the best product for each job instead of a single product that does everything "half-baked". -- Phillip Windell www.wandtv.com The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. ----------------------------------------------------- "sara lee" <> wrote in message news:c4cf6750-d946-4ab0-9c11-... > hi every1! > > i have just recently bought a vaio vgn-cr35m with a trial version of > norton internet security...but the problem is when itry to connect to > wireless networks in coffee shops.. > everytime i start internet explorer the login page comes out for a few > seconds (the login name and password from the counter) and then the > page is replaced saying symantec has bloacke this site for your safety > bla bla..n then they tell u if u trust this site then click here..so > it gets me back to the page but by the time i type the password n user > id n hit enter..its blocked again!! how can i solve this? i have > connected to other wireless connections before..should just uninstall > norton? > > thanx in advance > > sara lee |

I guess I'm not alone in this. I hate antivirus/antispam products that try
to do everything (firewall, email scan etc). Most of them end up doing almost nothing but annoy us.
