Norton Internet Security

[Barron]

Thanks for help. I followed links and spent the last two hours surfing various link lists and submitters websites using NIS 2004 and my box that doesnt have it.

Its amazing to see the results.

As near as I can tell when NIS deletes the code on image calls it does delete the link as well. It does block entry and exit pops. The amazing thing is it is completely transparent to the surfer. He/she has no clue they are missing anything.

Except for sites that have htaccess. Then the red X appears. But it completely looks like broken images. The surfer has no indication that anything was blocked.

White lists must have been updated, no adwords where deleted on mainstream sites.

But anything in a /ads/ directory was stripped out.

On my wifes personal site I renamed the images directory to "ren" and the thumbs directory to "renth". That had no effect. The image calls on the top half of the page have been deleted and the bottom half have not. No clue why NIS would do that.

Advertising is what makes the world go round, I'm surprised we havent seen any lawsuits over this.

I'm now starting to think that this has been the cause of some of my problems with my out click script. I got some interesting results with NIS because of the no referrer being sent. Thats easy enough to fix, but geez, I shouldnt have to!

Thanks for all the info and help on this. Now to spend a couple of days fixing all this
