Anyone using Norton Firewall?

Post by Darth Wong »

Apparently, Norton Firewall has historically had a default setting which blocks the display of any graphic image called "Banner.gif" or "Banner.jpg", under the mindless assumption that it must be a pop-up. So I changed the filenames of the banner images on this website as well as the main stardestroyer.net site to something other than "Banner" in an attempt to evade this behaviour.

Does anyone have Norton Firewall running? If so, can you report whether you can see the STARDESTROYER.NET banner on the main site or on this board?

Yeah i've got a copy (although i'm in the process of testing out alternatives). No problem seeing the banner and IIRC it has always been present.

Kerio's much better IMHO. In my experience anything by Norton tends to suck ass.
