Norton Internet Security Problem - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

BigDonkey2 · 07-22-2005, 09:16 AM

I have Norton Internet Security 2005 and it brought up a message that said something was trying to remotely access Internet Explorer from another computer so I told it to block always. Now, when Internet Security is turned on my Internet Explorer doesn't work, but when I turn it off it works fine. Is there a specific setting I can reset or change to make this not happen anymore? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

From Norton's Site:

Quote:

Unblocking programs in Norton Internet Security after selecting block and checking "Always use this action"

Situation:
You blocked a program's access to the Internet by selecting block and checking "Always use this action" in a Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall alert message.

Solution:
You must remove this program from the blocked list to give it access to the Internet.

To remove a program from the blocked list

1. Double-click the Norton Internet Security icon.
2. Double-click Personal Firewall.
3. On the Programs tab, select the program that you want to unblock in the Manual Program Control window.
4. Click Remove.
5. Click OK to any warning messages.
6. If there are other components of the program that appear in the list, remove them as well.
7. Click OK to close the Program Control window.
8. Close Norton Internet Security.

The next time that the program tries to access the Internet, the alert should appear. Then you can choose the access privileges that you want for the program.
