However, I don't think that's your problem. I'm betting the culprit is Norton Internet Security. We had all kinds of trouble with NIS at the University when I did tech support.
Option 1: Stop using NIS. I recommend using McAfee or ZoneAlarm for a firewall.
Option 2: Usually, you can stop NIS from "breaking the Internet" by turning off their Privacy filter. Go into the NIS settings and look for the Privacy Options or Privacy Settings (it's been a while, so I don't remember where they are). You may have to go in through the Windows Start Menu program list and load the application from there to get to the settings. Basically, just turn them off. All browsers, even IE, have enough privacy settings now that there's no reason to double up on privacy filtering.
If that doesn't help, download Spybot Search and Destroy or AdAware and make sure your box is free of spyware. Spyware can do some nasty things to your surfing 
Lastly, I don't know a lot about IE7Pro. It's possible that IE7Pro is causing you some trouble. I'd put much more money on NIS being the problem, though. |
Bg,
I have done the clock thing, it is now with a "nist.gov" one.
Some months ago I had a similar problem logging in on another site, I removed Norton completely and used AVG/Firefox etc, but it did not help, strangely it started working again OK, no idea why?
I cannot find the privacy filters in Norton NIS 2008?
It works fine using TOR?
I will carry on trying a couple of things.
Thanks for all your advice Bg.
