Next time I will check to see if a post actually made it first (g) ... and about Lost In Space ...  yes, I watched them all way back there when I was a kid ... one of these days, I am going to have a bunch of disposable income and hit Amazon and Best Buy and get the whole lot of them (g) ... first on my list is all seven seasons of Voyager.

Hi Tin,

 

You are after my own heart!! :smileyvery-happy:

 

I purchased most of the Lost In Space episodes from Amazon already, only a couple more to go! :smileywink:

 

And I also love Voyager and sometimes between it and Deep Space Nine I'm not sure which one I like the most. :smileytongue:

 

Best wishes.

Allen

Have you tried uninstalling Calling ID?  It certainly sounds like it has some relevance to your issue.

 

 Info on CallingID Link Advisor 2.0 reads like the authors have reinvented the wheel with real time link and website details.

I also have CallingID in use which uses icons, but they will only show when using their search via Google...no Norton icons show in their search.

 

Web settings are on in NIS; also nothing show in Firefox.

 

Months ago, both the Norton Safe Web check/icon and the CallingID icon would show up when using Google.  Now neither shows after installing latest ver of CallingID Link Advisor.  ugh!


 

I am not able to reproduce this issue with the latest NIS build 18.5.0.125.

Please run LiveUpdate untill you get the latest NIS version. And check if your issue still exists.

Hello Thalir

Pardon my intrusion ...

Might you know if Link Advisor's "real time" activity conflicts in any way with NIS.

Thanks for your interest

bjm,


There are chances for 2 applications to conflict with each other if they have common features. In this case I am not aware of any such conflicts between NIS and Link advisor.


If you find any such conflicts please report it to us. So that the concerned people can be intimated and this software could be added to Norton's incompatible product list.

I have the latest update 18.1.0.37 running.  I uninstalled LinkAdvisor2.0 and then tried Google search but still no Norton icons showing?

Uninstalled Norton Internet Security and saved settings...reinstalled and tried Google search...still no Norton icons?

 

I do get the icons showing when I use Norton Safe Web search.....but not thru Google.

 

I was denied access to the download of 18.5........version.

 

What's next?

Hi NISBOB,

 

One possibility:  Are your security settings at the defaults?  Scripting needs to be allowed for Google.com in order to display the icons - so if you have set your security options above the default level you may have to add Google to your trusted sites.  Similarly in Firefox, Javascript needs to be allowed.

I reset the security settings to default, and scripting for Java applets is enabled.

After restarting IE8 still no icons from NIS show?

FWIW ... I contacted Link Advisor vendor ....maybe they have info for you.

If they reply, I'll reply.  Hopefully, if they have info they will post to Topic.

 

I asked this on 12/8 of CallingID since I had upgraded to there latest version.....

 

Yoram,

Thanks for the info.


I did install the new version 2.0 and it works well.


It is interesting that in the past...months or years, I had the CallingID icon show up when using Google search. Now I don't see it unless I use your search accelerator instead of Google. Of course that works fine as you use Google for search.


Also, I use Norton Internet Security that has a Safe Web icon that used to show up along with your CallingID icon when using Google search. Now it no longer shows up when using Google. If I use their Norton Safe Search then their icon shows (not yours).

So, what was once easy to see both icons using Google, now I don't get either unless I use the specific search for that software.

Too bad, it was more useful before.

Bob

 

 

I find it interesting that if I uninstall Link Advisor, I still do not get the icons I was getting before with NIS in a Google search.

I guess I will use either the NIS or CallingID search functions.


 

 

Maybe when you get 18.5 issue will resolve as per Thalir

Who is Yoram and what info ?

It would appear the Community is simply not familiar with Link Advisor.  

I would test it.  But, based on your experience.... ?

I am hesitant to bump any realtime app against Norton. 

If I hear back from my query to Link Advisor.  I'll post back

Sorry !

 

I had been running earlier versions of the software and Yoram is the developer of the software located in Israel.  I had an issue and found out it was resolved in a new release.  So, once I installed the new release, I sent an email about my experience with the two software icon issues that I was having.

 

Both software use icons and each search engine works and shows the icons, but not when I use Google......it used to work and both icons from NIS and LA both showed up.....not any more.    Perhaps by design....I never heard back.

 

FWIW,

NISBOB

Thanks for the extra info

Also FWIW ~ just noticed using Norton Safe Search the new improved Norton Safe Search Norton Secured green circle ok or just green circle ok ratings ... WOT ratings do not display.

google & yahoo ~ old Norton Safe Search green circle white check ... WOT ratings still display.

It's as if the new version of Norton Safe Search ratings have pushed the other guys off the field. 

Something is going on that is certainly new and unwanted behavior.

"Thank you for continued interest in CallingID’s LinkAdvisor 2.0.

 

CallingID LinkAdvisor 2.0 continues to rate all the links that you mouse over  and before you click using any search engine. As you noted  it does not  process all the results of a search unless you use CallingID’s Google powered Safe Search. This provides you with the choice of using  the CallingID Safe Search and enables us to derive some revenue from the ads. This is how we are able to offer CallingID LinkAdvisor at no charge to you.

I guess I don't understand why this kills the NIS safe web icons from displaying in Google?

Revenue from what I gather....

Umm, maybe for the same reason Norton SafeWeb Icons to not display in Google Finance or Google News search but, Norton Safe Web Icons will display in Google (along with WOT Icons) search and only NortonSafeWeb Icons display in Norton SafeSearch

CallingID’s Google powered Safe Search is not "Google" and apparently from your information NortonSafeWeb Icon is simply not compatible with CallingID’s Google powered Safe Search as the exclusive use of CallingID Link Advisor provides revenue for the vendor. 

Perhaps the exclusive use of Norton SafeWeb Icons with Norton Safe Search provides revenue for Norton/Ask.

Monitoring your search clics and ads are revenue for some entity. 


but,  as per Thalir > I am not able to reproduce this issue with the latest NIS build 18.5.0.125.

Sometimes somethings are just as they are, not as we would want them...  $.02

Regards

Thanks for continuing the dialog

Reply from my query to and request for Calling ID to view this Topic

Thanks for this - we shall test it NOW and let everyone know the results

I presume this is the results.....
