binary1000,

Hooray. You win the award for the best pro-active suggestion I have seen to date on the issue. And with your permission I will spread your copy and idea around. I will update my Norton Blocks page with it this weekend and I think WebProNews is going to be doing a story featuring my page and some of my posts about the issue on another forum, so hopefully we can get a grassroots movement going.

No it's not an easy fix like working around browser issues. Not at all! I know a company that has been working on a program for weeks to unblock the blocks and
numerous people are beta testing and it's still not finished. It is not something individual webmasters can just code around, especially if they have numerous affiliate programs from various networks. And especially if they want to be sure what ever they do to bypass Norton does not also interfere somehow with tracking, cookies or commissions.

Thanks! Linda
