How do I change Norton Antivirus rule?

illogicrose · 12-22-2006, 08:52 AM

Hello,

Yesterday I logged on the internet. I like using Firefox as my browser but yesterday Norton Antivirus alerted that it recommended blocking firefox. I didn't know that firefox was updated last night but I thought Norton was trying to stop a virus getting in so I clicked OK to automatically block. Then afterwards firefox doesn't load and now I realised that I blocked firefox from accessing the internet with Norton. The only way I can browse online is to use Firefox with Norton disabled or use internet explorer, which I don't really like.

I know that Norton Antivirus must have a list of sites it blocks from the internet but I can't find them on it's window. I also tried locating how to unblock firefox from Norton but I can't find it. Is the only option to uninstall firefox and redownload it again? If so then how do I save all my browser favourites on firefox? Please help.
