what do you do if.... Norton Internet Security won't let me connect to the internet?
 

please help. i just started having this problem today. whenever i log on to the internet, my internet call manager thing in the systray has a red light which means you should be connected but there is somethign wrong. (i just use that to make sure the connection is good). i cant use netscape 7.0 or IE but when i disable the personal firewall from the Norton internet security, the light turns green and i can view sites. i didn't change any settings. so the problem is that i can be attacked easier by hackers, and i dont wanna have to sacrifice safety. help me.

Use Zonealarm. Or, you could just as easily realize that you are in no danger if this is a simple personal computer, so a firewall is just a waste of resource.

Then how come internet security has blocked several "malicious attacks" when I've been online and it works correctly?

just use zonealarm. its better. and free.

Ok whatever. Where is the site. I am too lazy to look.

i can't say i use a firewall though. there's a huge big one i have to go through anyway...

I've used zonealarm for a little while now. The only thing I think is missing is the ability to quickly enable/disable the firewall. The only way I've found to disable it is to actually exit the program.

Aero, right now all the hackers on these forums are wrecking havoc on your system. LOG OFF! LOG OFF!!

Ok.:confused: :eek:
