Ami I the only person who woke up this morning to find that the Symantec
firewall updates I installed yesterday have changed the setting on my
firewall in such a way that I am completely cut off from the internet?

Probably. Most everyone else has uninstalled Symantec.

I forgot to mention that I'm running XP-Pro and IE-6, which is probably a
likely source of the bad interaction. What are you runing?

My NIS 2007 updated yesterday (with program updates and restart) and
appears ok. Running Win XP Media Center (superset of XP Pro?) SP1 with
IE 6. Net access ok as well as secure net access. Same for my wife's
Win XP Home SP1 with IE 6.

In both systems, however, I have to restart every several days to keep
live update working. Complains about missing file for administrative
rights after about a week. Restart fixes it. Been that way for all the
Norton stuff for a long time.

Funny that I've just put it back on a couple of machines where
ZoneAlarm had caused even bigger problems than I know I could get with
Nortons.....
