    i was on the internet yesturday then a norton update finished as soon as that finished then aol signed itself off so i tryed to log back in then norton kicks in saying a characteristic of the "bla bla" virus is trying to come inbound but it isnt a virus its aol and if i disable it just to log in then enable it again it signs me out. what a ----ty update huh?

    im in the internet cafe now so if anyone else is having this problem please reply so i know it aint just me. and does anyone know a fix for it?

    So did you go to settings and make it ignore or allow AOL to access the internet?

    Ive seen this before... try getting rid of Norton. <_<

    I would try, for free or pay, Avast, AVG, or, for pay, Nod32

    I took Norton off my friend's computer, and AOL/RoadRunner (cable net) worked better.

    right i found the problem.

    last night there was a norton update. and it affected all norton 2003 users that have AOL. basicly stopping them from connecting to the internet. norton was thinking that aol was a virus :blink: which it wasnt.

    iv now updated to norton 2005 and everything is fine now :) just letting people know if they have the same problem because i know alot of people that has got this issue. and i fixed it for them ^_^

    so im not alone on this! :P this is worldwide sh*t lol

    who ever has aol and norton 2003 are f**ked basicly untill there disable norton or update to a later version or change firewall :P
