Vincenzo,

Thanks for your assistance.

I did already install the Add-On Pack for NIS 2008 (as I have always done in
prior NIS versions).
Unfortunately, the add-on pack for NIS 2008 does NOT include either the 'ad
blocker' or 'pop-up blocker' that the add-on packs for NIS 2007, NIS 2006
etc. included.

Also, Norton said that you can't use the add-on for NIS 2007 for NIS 2008-m
not compatible. And, they also said all Norton 2008 products NO longer
have ad-blocking capability. Norton 360 Version 2 does have pop-up blocking
capability but no ad-blocking capability.

Thanks in adavnce for anyone's recommendations (on ad-blocker, 'bannerad
blocker' software)- very appreciated!
:)
