Bob,
Thanks. I have it blocked already but that doesn't seem to be the 'cure'.
My dilemma is do 1) I go back to NIS 2007 with slower scan times and get
back the ad blocking capability, 2) keep NIS 2008 and find a good
ad-blocking software that blocks the ad banners Norton had done, or 3) just
cope with the slower webpages deployments in NIS 2008.
I had heard about the following programs, but I don't know them and wouldn't
know which one, if any, is the best- here they are (if there is one not
listed that is considered top-notch I'd love to know about it!!):

Thanks again!
:)
The lack of ad-blocking capability in Norton 2008 products makes IE run a
lower speed despite being connected
