WOW!! IE8 does not support Norton 360V2.0. I'm screwed. Why would
Microsoft create an IE that was not compatable with a firewall? I
must say that, I expirience so many "Errors" and "Crashes" with
IE7, that I was really looking forward to the possibility of an IE
that worked. Do you know if Microsoft will address this, or will
they be leaving us to fend for ourselves?

Sorry you have had trouble with IE7 (I have had none for quite some time) -
but it's not that Internet Explorer 8 does not support Norton 360 v2.x -
it's that Norton 360 v2.x is out-dated and does not recognize Internet
Explorer 8.

The last one of those has this post in the thread...

"We're still examining Internet Explorer 8 and any compatibility issues
between it and Norton 360, but we plan to support Internet Explorer 8 soon.
We will post an update here shortly with new information on this subject. If
you have Norton 360 installed, I would recommend that you update to the
latest version (Norton 360 v3 Standard or Norton 360 v3 Premier). Thanks!

Essentially - the product you are using is, as you already know, old and
needs to be updated to the latest version for complete functionality.

What type of errors and crashes are you getting with IE7? Are all your
other plugins up to date? What antimalweare applications have you recently
scanned your computer with - if any? I suggest trying the freeware
MalwareBytes and the freeware SuperAntiSpyware for a single scan and
cleanup - just to see what, if anything - they find and eliminate for you.
