Deprived

if you receive this, I will never know.
I sent an email to contact source of TBN telling them of a Norton pop-up to say they blocked an intrusion to my PC, every time I tried to enter Power Trac Forum.
Since I sent the email I don't get the Norton Notice but I still cannot enter the PT Forum. Any other forum great, but not PT.Last night I did get one line, that was about the 60 inch mower.
If any of you have encountered a similar condition. Let PTN know, and maybe a PM to me.
Thanks, it's an awful feeling being left out.

Bill,

The PM I sent you said:

"Of course, maybe it's Norton and not TBN. Years ago I had so many problems with Norton's software that I swore to never let it near a computer of mine again. I've had friends with similar problems (tho not as bad) using McAfee. Just figures: the two biggest names, the most problems. I took the advice of my SIL who's an IT tech for a county in No CA and started using Computer Associates. Never had a problem since. Now, my DSL provider has a private deal with Computer Associates and Anti-spy, Anti-Virus, and other services are included with the DSL subscription. ONLY "problem" we've had in 4 years were two different days when, for some reason, the daily update couldn't complete until around noon (supposed to update daily at 9am).

Dump Norton IMHO."

I hope you are soon reading this post and can view TBN normally.

But the thing I want to know is: How come you get an offer for a FREE John Deer tractor?!?!? I could only read that part from your photo, not the small print.

Indeed! I agree 1000%. It's the most intrusive, overburdening piece of "protective" software I've yet encountered---and difficult to remove completely, too {HERE} .

I highly recommmend AVG anti-virus {HERE}. It runs ~$40 for a 2-year license, but you can get a FREE version which only lacks a few non-critical/essential bells and whistles {HERE}

Hope your problem is solved, Bill.

Phils,

Thank you for the thoughts and darned good suggestions.
I switched off Norton Security for 30 mins.
I was able to log in, come into PT Forum, and find a full page of threads. I was also able to go into my home, and make some changes. I could not get more than half a page.

You certainly hit the nail on the head again for me. I just paid in Dec for a year of N I S. I don't mind losing a few bucks, and a a whole load of headaches, and aggravation.
Thanks again , and to you Trac Doc for the same kind of advice.

Bill

PS;:- I don't need to register any where for a free anything.
That particular word 'FREE' does not ring any bells for me.

Take Care,
