I have used Norton for years and have found it to be very good. Same thing could happen with one of their competitors. Seems everybody has forgotten when years ago eBay use to crash. This very frustrating for all involved but there is a work around by disabling the phishing.

Huge ebay issue, spent 3 hours thinking I had been compromised, finally called ebay and it took 2 persons to figure out it was Norton. Went to Norton for update and their own popup said their site had no history!!! WOW vote of no cofidence to Norton.

Dave ..... Thanks for your reply. Could you please give us an idea on how long it typically takes for this to "propogate." As I mentioned, eBay is very much time sensitive and this is costing eBay sellers a lot of money right now. Also, I would love to know if the original cause of the problem was due to an eBay issue or something which went wrong at Norton's end.

The patch fixing this issue has been posted. To resolve it run LiveUpdate or have auto-LiveUpdate run by itself.
During the Live Update session it should show a “Norton 2012 Web Protection Definitions” update (for 2012 products), but you won’t be able to tell just from that if you have the right version.
In Security History, under the “Protection and Performance” category and “Identity” sub-category, the first update carrying this correction will show up as “Using Antiphishing definitions version 20120620.011”.
Once LU runs and this update is downloaded, Norton 2012 users will get this update applied immediately.
Pre-Norton 2012 users will need to allow their systems to enter idle state to have the update applied – achieving idle state can be accelerated by using the settings UI to change the Idle timeout – it should be able to be reduced to 1 minute if the user desires.
See this post below for additional screenshots.
Cheers,
Dave
