I have Norton Anti-Virus and recently I decided to download AOL instant messenger because it is the best way to keep in touch with my GreatestJournal friends. I was signing in for the first time when a Norton Anti-Virus alert came up asking if I wanted to block the connection to AIM, I accidently clicked yes. Now I can't connect to AIM. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it again but it still wont let me connect to it. I have looked through Norton to try and find an option to unblock it but I haven't found anything. Does anyone know how I can unblock AIM?
... This is one of those problems that a google search might be faster in resolving, here is what I used: "unblocking something in norton internet security"
