hello
i have windows XP home edition, 32 bit, with SP 3 and Norton Internet Suite
the problem is an error message i get when i try to download updates....
it makes no sense because when i do exactly what it says to do, nothing
changes.
here is the error message:

Please change your Internet Explorer security settings
To save changes to your settings for this website, you need to enable
userdata persistence for Internet Explorer. Complete the steps below, and
then click Change settings to the left and try saving your changes again.
In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Security tab, click the Internet security zone icon, and then
click Custom Level.
In the Settings dialog box, scroll to the Miscellaneous section.
Under Userdata persistence , select Enable.
Click OK and when the security warning dialog box appears, click Yes.

when i check for the particular "userdata" setting in Internet Explorer, it
is already
set to ENABLE. i have tried all the other fixes that are listed. still
nothing works to resolve the problem.
thanks in advance

Is it really Norton Security Suite, a freebie from your ISP? Was the
freebie McAfee Security Center installed before that?

Has another Norton application ever been installed on the computer (e.g., a
free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

[Please reply or post only to the newsgroup or forum thread so that all may
benefit from the discussion.]

You should have downloaded/run the McAfee Consumer Products Removal Tool
before you installed the Comcast's Norton Security Suite freebie.

But it's too late now: Your email reply tells me that you're seeing the
effects of a hijackware infection.

Assuming the McAfee freebie from ATT had been working properly & effectively
protecting your computer (doubtful), the infection might have started while
you still had the McAfee app installed but were no longer an ATT subscriber
(if you're no longer an ATT subscriber, you don't get any definitions
updates from McAfee).
