Author IE, XMLHTTP and Norton Internet Security (Threes A Crowd)

Hi all,

I developed an IE-centric web site that uses javascript and XMLHTTP to
dynamically load info on the page from the server without having to re-load
the page. It works awesomely! Recently I've received complaints from users
of it not working, and the common thread is that these users have Norton
Internet Security installed (sorry, don't know the version, but let's assume
the latest). I don't have NIS. Can anyone give me clear instructions as to
how a user can change his/her NIS settings so that a certain site may be
trusted or so that users can use sites that utilize the XMLHTTP object? Even
when they shut off NIS, occasionally it still won't allow access until they
actually set it for manual start-up and then restart their computer. TIA

-Monty

Monty, is this a public web site? Can you post the URL?

XMLHTTP is becoming very popular for good reason (for example,
http://maps.google.com). Maybe there are some specific things that can be
done to get around Norton's behavior.
