In my case, it was thwarting what Welcome is doing on my WebStar server, and thinking the referrer was not my domain (this is how I protect images in the membership area without directory protection). It was masking the referrer, for internet privacy, in other words. I now have a link on the error page they get, directing them to these screen shots. What havoc crap software like this wreaks upon existing websites. I only know these things because people pay for access and complain when the site doesn't work. I wonder how many people run sites that stop working properly when software like this gets widely used? Users just leave and go elsewhere. > >Another issue worth mentioning is what Norton Internet Security and Firewall >does to your websites and income.
