All of a sudden...virtually overnight...Norton ConnectSafe is filtering a number of sites that were previously safe, particularly links to ANY video from m.facebook.com, and espn.go.com for starters. Here is one link to a review of the obstruction call in game 3 of the 2013 world series that it blocked. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/10647034/mlb-2013-world-series-obstruction-call.

I'm having the same issue using Facebook and other pages. Started happening yesterday for me. I do not want to relax the setrings since I have children.
In the last week I have noticed Nortonconnectsafe for the first time. It is because I set my router to block malicious sites months ago and this week a number of safe websites were being blocked by something called Norton ConnectSafe including CNN. It took me many hours to figure out that this was a) Not a virus b) Not malware c) not my ISP 4) It was my belkin router settings
Peter, you have the same addresses as I do. When I had this problem a month or so ago, it turned out to be a Norton systems bug at those addresses, that they corrected. I think your order is correct, tactically....reboot the router and if that fails, turn off malicious site blocking within the router.
However, you might have another problem, as I just went to cnn.com and got through no problem. Since we both have the same IP @s, it doesn't make sense that it would blcok you and not me. Hopefully someone on KatieQ's team will get back to you with a response.
Thanks for the advice. I rebooted the router and got the same DNS addresses.
I did not check CNN again - but just turned of malicious site blocking. No problems since.
I had the same problem on multiple machines and Operating systems so the problem had to either be the router or the ISP as they were the only connon reference points (unless we had a virus capable of infecting Macs, Ipads and PCs and it all happened at the same time).
I appreciate what Norton/Symantec is trying to do - but I have to say that Norton and Symantec are causing me more problems more frequently than the viruses they are designed to protect me from. I stopped buying Norton and Symatic products ~10 years ago when they bogged my machine down so much I could not use it (innefficient coding and no quality control). I hear that those problems have been fixed - but once bit .... Now the biggest problem is having to regularly de-install symantec and Norton products that have been installed in the background of an otherwise ligitimate install. It requires me to read everyt check box - and even then I miss some. Very, very, very annoying and time wasting. What is the difference between that approach to distributing their products and malware (apart from if you put enough effort into it you do have a choice). I don't want to pay money to companies that market that way.
Maybe I will change my mind one day. I hope their marketing department reads this bliog. I am sure I am not alone.
