Avast - it's free, and much "lighter" on your system than Norton

Anti virus compatible with Vista Ultimate

Shalom all my pals,

I just upgraded on my Vista Ultimate laptop to new Norton Internet Security
2008 to replace expired 2007 version. The expired version never gave me
problem past year.

This time after upgrade, I am being blocked from entering into FSF website
unless I put this website into "trusted sites" section.

Same thing for other few websites.

Also, I lost ability to download any legitimate file from any website such
as avsim or so on using IE7.

Strange thing is that I have no problem DOING ANYTHING I want when I am
using Mozialla Firefox.

I could not find any function on either Norton Internet Security 2008 or IE7
to disable anything so that I can use this website or any other website and
download anything. I suspect there is some advanced protection somewhere.

I tried to use Symantec support web site service but they would not
recognize Firefox and requires use of IE7 to get in meaning I am out of luck.

I called via live chat with Microsoft who said it is out of their department
and I should try more advanced department of Microsoft via PHONE!!!

Anybody got any idea to solve this problem so that I can use IE7 freely.

Regards,

Aharon
