    My friends computer is having trouble with her network. She HAS internet but whenever she tries to access any of her browsers, she gets an error saying _____ is unable to access the internet because your anti virus program strongly detects that some content is not safe.

    she uses Norton 9.
    HP Pavilon
    update: google chrome isnt working for her at all but internet explorer does.

    Any suggestions? thanks

    norton 9 nuff said. remove it. use Microsoft security essentials its free and works as well if not better. Or you can go into IE options and disable all Norton add-ons. I think chrome pulls those settings from IE

    Just dial down the security settings in Norton.

    The latest norton is not a bad product, just a little too strict.

    This is the funniest post I have seen in a while. Well played.

    Agreed though. I hate Norton, like Microsoft Security Essentials. AVG and Avira are also good.
