    Hi

    I am having a bit of trouble with Norton. I cant view any page on the internet that contains the word 'blade'. I cant even do a search on Google for the word 'blade' as Norton blocks the results being dosplayed. When I switch Norton off I have no problems. Is anyone else having any problems like this?

    I have run a scan on my system and have found nothing that might cause this. I have also run HijackThis and there doesnt seem to be any malware running.

    I even have to turn off Norton to post this message.

    What version of Norton are you running

    More specifically what Norton product(s) are you using. Norton covers things like Antivirus,Internet Security, Systemworks, Cleansweep and some others i think of, off the top of my head.

    I am guessing that its Internet Security and that you have content filtering set up too high or a parental lock enabled that is disabling looking for particular search words.

    Determine whether or not Parental Control is blocking the Web site
    The easiest way to find out if Parental Control is restricting access to a specific Web site is to temporarily disable the feature. You need an account with Supervisor rights in Norton Internet Security in order to do this.

    To disable Parental Control
    Open Norton Internet Security.
    In the main window, double-click Parental Control.
    In the Parent Control dialog box, uncheck Turn on Parental Control.
    Click OK.

    I have Norton Internet Security and the parental control is not enabled. I reduced the Firewall to Low and still the same problem is occuring. Its not causing me much of a problem but I am little worried WHY its happening.

    Have you tried the Norton knowledge base at http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/consumer.html ?

    Yes have tried the knowledge and I cant see to find anything on this. I am not the only person experiencing this as I personally know others with the same problem.
