NIS is preventing me from connecting to the internet

Norton security is preventing me from connecting to the internet

I have windows xp and the norton security came with the computer, i think it is 2005 version.  If i disable norton i can connect but obviously don't want to do this. 

Oops forgot to mention, we have broadband and we had uninterupted internet access until a few days ago.

That's more than old .... it's prehistoric! You really should update to the current NIS 2011 which you can buy in the stores for as little as $20 after rebates including Upgrader's rebate which your earlier version might qualify for provided it was not an OEM version that came free.

 

Please do think about this since you are really at risk despite any definitions updates you may still get the techniques of affack are so different and change so rapidly that definitions are becoming less and less important.

 

We can give you a link to download the current version which you can install and which will give you at least a 15 day trial while you can decide and shop around for a copy to buy and then use that key to activate your installed version.
