I have to have IE because my company does web applications and I need to test things from time to time and access things. As well as other testing I do which requires IE, so dumping it is not an option. Norton was the culpret it changed settings, could just have easly changed other things in XP or other browsers, so please stop with the browser bashing. I will check into AVG and check them out. My company uses McAfee I should have gone that route in the 1st place, though I don't much like all there stuff either. AVG I'll have to give a shot. Thanks for the input.
