Flash Banners not showing

[David]

You both deserve thanks for your time and efforts .. and yes, Norton can be
a right pain in the derriere, but it's something I have gotten used to and
thought I had fully sorted out its peculiarities by turning off the annoying
bits and running other protection programs alongside it, to replace them
with better alternatives.

Contacting their support is a recipe for numerous frustration attacks,
fruitlessly re-installing everything and waiting until the operative turns
the page to " stock answer number two" which is similar to "stock answer
number one" .. so I won't be dong that !! ;-))

Do you think Norton is objecting to the word "banner" and can the Flash
banners be renamed within NOF 9 ?

Cheers

David

First- Nancy gets the credit - she thought of it!

Solving the problem? Best way is to dump Norton & get better AV software.
I use NOD32 (www.eset.com) & love it. Better protection, less obtrusive &
cheaper. However, most anything is better than Norton! If you must stick
with Norton - I'm sure there's a setting that will let you allow js, etc.
All I can suggest there is to search help or contact (good luck!) Norton
customer service.

[David]

Perhaps it has been fixed in NOF10 .. I wonder if any of their engineers
read this forum and if they will issue an update or tell us a workaround for
NOF 9 to fix it ?

Cheers

BTW, FWIW, I switched my virus protection over to www.avast.com about 5
years ago and never looked back. The free home registration does a GREAT
JOB.

I am sure Avast is good, as is AVG Free which I use on my less-powerful
'back-up system' .. but despite being a pain on occasions, in 8 years Norton
Internet Security has never let me down as far as protecting my computers
from infections.

Although I don't use their latest version, my XP Pro system is powerful
enough to overcome Norton's resource-hogging tendencies and I kinda feel at
home with it.

Cheers

No need to replace Norton until you're ready to. See this page for

Hi Nancy,

Many thanks for the link .. since my last post I had actually been "playing"
with these and Norton's ad-blocking settings, all changes had absolutely no
effect on the I/E7 display ( or lack of it ) .. but on re-booting, I just
tried Firefox and Opera and hooray, both are now successfully showing the
Flash banners ! :-))

So just the I/E7 browser to try and fix .. I have added www.afriscenes.com
to its trusted site list .. but to no avail and I am running out of ideas ..

But the problem is gradually unravelling in a positive manner, thanks to you
good folks.

Cheers

David
