Norton Internet Security 2009

[Vakas]

I have someone using Norton Internet Security 2009 can someone tell where the pop up and ad blocking options can be found. Does it even have these?

Is is not shown under the firewall status?

I have had a look but cant't seem to find anything there.

Maybe they dummed it down further... go somewhere that issues popups and see if you get a dialogue box up?

I looked on the Symantec site and belive it or not these features are not supported in the 2009 version.

It says by default internet Explorer 7.0 or higher has a pop up blocker so use that.

As for ds it says you will have to install an ad blocking program on your computer.

Is this a security suite or what.

Wow I should get into making security suites. It will be top of the line! I'll make the CD install a text document that says, buy a virus scan, buy a fire wall, buy a pop up blocker, etc. It will finish off with oh by the way thanks for buying our software.

I've had some interesting problems with Norton Internet Security, regardless of version.

The Norton pop-up blocker, for a long time, would close whatever browser I was using (usually Firefox) everytime I tried to open a new page in a new tab. I got so annoyed at it, I just turned its pop-up blocker off.

As for its ad-blocking, I havent had any trouble with it. :P
