Harry im with Panda platinum and am having the same problem. Plus server keeps telling me i cant connect to internet. So ive had to take my firewall down.

For some reason it logged me on this time, ver strange.
Very annoying though and having to go back to internet explorer, :roll: dear me.
Jay what`s the reason for this? Is it a Norton/Firefox prob?

Flo, don`t use the net without a firewall in place.
There are many sexual metaphores I could use but let`s just say you need to protect yourself :oops: :roll:
Enjoy your wee jolly and get the phots on here, hen

Harry I have had that problem a couple of times and I eventually traced the problem down to my Norton Firewall. It had developed a mind of it's own and was blocking the sites that I most used. I tried switching it off and it was still blocking these sites so I had take the computer back to a check point before the problems happened, then down load the firewall and i was back in business.

firefox is a funny thing

whatever you do, have NO temptation to install the new internet explorer 7 browser to try it

it blocks certain scripts from running (such as login ones) even in firefox

if you havent installed Internet Explorer 7 nevermind about my post :D

Try the Opera Web browser.

Cracking good bit of kit so it is. Firefox just wasn't my cup of tea.

As to Norton; Had it, binned it. Now use AVG anti virus and Zone Alarm as my Firewall. Both are free.

Try this sight:

A lot of useful downloads available. Some you can pay for, some are freeware.

I Use Xoftspy and Spybot for sorting out the nasties. First costs the second is free.
