Thanks but Norton tech suypport said yesterday there is no current 2008
Norton product that has the ad blocking, and no fix unless you go back to
2007 (which I don't want to do b/c scan times are much slower in 2007 NIS).
Does anyone have a software recommendation that speficially blocks
ad-banners that can be used in conjunction with NIS 2008, Spysweeper and
IE6,?
This willl not only be helping me but aslo the many Norton users who are (or
will soon) find themselves with the same issue as they migrate to 2008 Norton
products, and discover that the ad-banner/ads blocking function is no longer
included in any current year Norton product.
Thanks very much for any assistance from others reading this post!!
