Some aspects of Norton are very useful eg: Disc Doctor, but keep it in its bottle! (use from floppy/cd only). When resident on the PC it can cause problems, such as the one you're having. Delete it from your PC and use selectively.

I've just run a virus check on my entire computer and it's found nothing. I've also tried to access my daughter's MSN account and get the same warning.......help
Can you access the list of E-Mails that you have got in your In-Box without opening them ?
I can access all my E-Mails without opening them and if I do not recognise the Sender I just Delete.

pmsl.......have just noticed the Norton ads under the question...
lol....Once my computer crashed and wouldn't turn on. The help centre said it was because of Norton.
adequate protection can be had using all free stuff, avast and avira are OK for free antivirus. If you go the free route then you also need a decent firewall which zone alarm do a free one that pretty good.

there is a lot to be said for paying for a all in one security suite though, as it makes the management of your security central in one place instead of spread all over the place.

The current best security suite in my mind is
