AOL V Norton Fire wall security problem
Ok

Ive use broadband AOL for over a year without a problem

The other day when trying to connect just before it did a message like the following came up

"AOL is unable to connect due to Norton Firewall proctection"

Dont know exact words and i checked all through my Norton security which still 'allowed' AOL and many other sites access etc etc

After just about to give up, id tried to disable fire wall but although it said 'disabled' it still wouldnt connect

Finally I disabled the 'security' tab and that let me get on line. so basically no security protection when i get on line

I enable it as soon as i got on line but it seem now i can only get on line if i disable it first ? Hardly ideal and i assume what a virus would want ?

I did a full Norton scan and found nothing ?

Any solutions ? why this is happening
