AIM blocked


Question Posted Saturday June 4 2005, 4:04 pm

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?

I don't want to disable the whole internet protection, I just want to unblock AIM..

Hello there,

This is a very, VERY common problem. I have done it myself.

While I no longer use Norton, I did look up a pictorial step by step for you:

... 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"


... Without the quotes.

well my parents dont like me on AIM so they block it for me... so i disassemble it every time i want to get on, all you have to do is right click on the globe lookin thing on the bottom of your screen and click disable norton internet security and itll come up wiht a box for how much time... and you click disable til restarted... and that should keep norton internet security off until you turn your computer off.. hope i helped!!
