no idea what the deal is, but the past week when I try to get onto NYspeed it trips some blocker or something on symantec and then symantec disables internet connectivity for 10mins. It happens 100% of the time on chrome and about 40% of the time on internet explorer…what gives :gotme: ---

i bet its something to do witht he add banner server is its not local to the forum server. you might be able to configure an exception wihin symantec, unless your a locked down client managed by a central server. are you using SEP?, and locally managed or centrally managed? ---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ---------- > [@LZ](#): > > Why would they give you any useful info :lol: Because everyone thinks IT people are David Copperfield’s or Shawn Spencer’s. Then when you finally figure it out and its a user problem, you become a third thing… an asshole… because no matter how well you tell a user in a nice way that the problem was caused cause they did something, you are still an asshole. lol ---

At home, I can disable network threat protection and go back to using the internet like a normal person. Here I don’t have admin privileges to go investigating why it’s occurring. ---

> [@mark](#): > > all those popups are logged, so they probably know anyways. sorry. oh I know it’s logged, I just don’t think it’s smart to go see the network guy we secretly call “the coffee nazi” and be like “so hey, this website I like spending a lot of my time on here at work that has nothing to do with work won’t let me use if cause of some settings on the antivirus…wanna fix that so I can continue to waste time?” LOL. Thanks for some clarification though. Guess I’ll just have to enjoy whatever NYspeed’ing the browser allows haha. ---

If you can install browser plugins you might be able to use NoScript/Adblock to block whatever content is tripping the AV. It’s probably a link to some 3rd party ad/tracking crap ---
