NIS 2005 is over 3 years old. You best to upgrade to NIS 2009 which is a million times better. See here.

Before doing anything, what O.S., S.P. are you using, for example Windows X.P., 03?

maxelcat, there are a number of protective technologies within Norton Internet Security. Without knowing the specific detection it’s hard to guess what the problem could be. What security alert is being presented or stored in the security history?

thanks for all the replies.

 

I don't want to upgrade my Norton - because lots of users out there will have that version.

 

What I am concerned to do is to create code that norton will think "That's cool" and allow the download, not have to get all my users to fiddle with their nortons. (!!!) My laptop running macafee is fine - no problems at all.

 

Its happening on xp home,

 

The link to download is in a flash file getURL("talks/download_mp3.php?filename",_"blank") so as to open a new browser window. The new window opens and then nothing happens - the link appears in the ulr line but the screen stays blank and the porgress bar hardly moves it all. It just goes on and on. It happens iwth IE6 and FF 3.2 (or is it 3.02?)

 

So I figured maybe something was wrong with my php code...

 

 

I see most of your programs are out of date. IE 6 should be IE 7 and Firefox should be 3.03. I have never had any problems downloading programs with any av. What do you mean you do not to upgrade cause everyone will have the same version as you? I don’t under stand your point. Norton 2009 is the best there has ever been. Read the reviews. Are you using any type of download Manager?

Well, the point is that I am a web developer and so I need to test on a representative cross section of browsers, os etc. Same with Norton.

Okay; understood.

 

But, why on Earth are you using an out-of-date Virus Product?  Why are you putting yourself At Risk when there is an Upgrade which is Urgently Needed?

 

Again, what is your O.S. and S.P.?

I agree 100% with Red. If its one thing I do is keep every program up to date. Firefox and IE. All Windows updates. All my games. Any software I have. I just updated OpenOffice.Org. And I always keep up tp date on my security. Every security software company out there releases a new version just about ever year or so. And in between those years there are usually updates or patches.

maxelcat,

 

Some further isolation is still necessary. Since you have access to the server, can you confirm that the request for the was actually received? If you view the download page's source from within the browser, does it still match the servers? If you turn selectively disable protections, such as phishing protection, does the problem go away?
