The Internet Worm protection in Norton 2005 will NOT let you connect to SL, just a heads up, kept me offline for a week >_>

I assume clicking "Ignore" would work, but my suggestion would be to use something else, honestly. Norton kind of sucks.
No, I don't actually have any suggestions, sorry. My router has a firewall, so I just use that.

Yeah, the router w/ firewall is definitly the way to go. The router's subscription never runs out and it rarely causes problems ulike Norton's. One of the fundamental differences is that with a software firewall like Norton's is a hacker can see the computer and can try to hammer on it, taking up bandwidth and computer resources fighting off the attack. A hardware firewall like a router blocks the ability to see what computers are behind it and routers are dumb enough not to be easily defeated. They can be but since there are so many unprotected computers out there they will usually try to find easier pickings.
