Then the pop ups are not from the domains that you have allowed.
Try the low filter level on the previously mentioned settins, or shut it off to get the proper fqdns.

The problem is NAV... as allways.. Shut it down for this check.. or even better, get rid of it and go for PCcillin from Trendmicro!

You think if I uninstall system works it will make me smile again I have had nortons for ever it seems when it was peter nortonsI uninstalled Go Back and tried to reinstall but that won't work either says I need to uninstall Go back first
do you have the NAV web assistant icon on your IE toolbar, top right by the end of the address bar? If so open it and check the settings there.
ASKER
They are all checked
ASKER
did a full scan of both hd nothing
Thats a classic NAV problem.. It dont work, and its impossible to get rid off without taking the gloves off.. Check Nortons page for that if you want instructions.
However, you shoudl be able to just shut down the NAV from task manager for a test.. That will tell you if thats the problem.

If they are all checked? Were you refering to my question about the web assistant settings? If so then you have all pop ups and ads blocked...try unchecking them.
ASKER
I will get a new anti virus tomorrow and then install before removeing nav get back to you tomorrow if I suceed this is driveing me nuts I was told mcaffee was good also
Try woodendudes suggestion first, and then shutting it down in task manager if no luck...
Its good to know where exactly the error comes from.
McAfee is something i have never tried, so i can not say..
