Very strange.....I guess next week I'll know if it's Norton as I plan to install the new Norton Internet Security 2003 when I upgrade my antivirus software. I need the firewall to keep the spammers from exploiting Windows Messenger and plunking their stupid ads on my desktop:) Just out of curiousity, when you get the blue page, there's not another one laying on your task bar is there? Just a thought!
