Help
hi everyone,i'm new to this forum and i'm just hoping that i can get a little help.
i've been on the net for 12 months,and have always used I.E.[because i didn't know any better],but i've noticed that everyone seems to slag I.E. off badly.so i decided to try another browser.
i downloaded firefox without any problems,it told me it was now installed and so i opened firefox.
unfortunately,although the page does open,it just says in the lower left corner that it is looking for www.bbc.co.uk [the page i set to make sure it could find something].i've also successfully downloaded OPERA and AVANT browsers with exactly the same results.
i'm running windows SAP home and using norton internet security 2005.i think that norton is the problem,but if it is,i'm not sure how to correct this.
any help would be greatly appreciated. thx.

scudy,
First of all let me say Welcome to Bleeping Computer. I'm not familiar with Norton Internet Security, and it's settings. I did find this Symantec/Norton support link. It seems there may be more than one answer depending on your connection. Take a look, and if none of those "fixes" resolve your problem. Please post some additional information such as your ISP information. And Norton settings. Good Luck, and hth.

The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.
