I'm just curious...how exactly does Norton contribute to spreading viruses and "mailware"?

I don't use ad blocking but do use Norton. At first it was a pain in the ass but once configured properly, it does a good job.

I use ad blocking only to block Jim's sig.

Ha!

I found that it's good to surf your own sites from a friend's computer occasionally to see what they see. A while ago, one of my TGPs was a thumb TGP, not text link as is it today, and I found that my .htaccess referrer settings were denying all of the images to those using Norton's blocking software. Oops!
