I'm not familiar with NIS, but shouldn't it have a section dedicated to trusted websites? If you insist on having NIS, try to place the site in that area.

Are you behind a hardware based firewall? If you are, only have the anti-virus up and running. NIS is well known for causing multiple issues on computer systems.

I used to have Norton, but I found it quite a resource hog. Moved to Zone Alarm.

Agreed

For anti virus I'd recommend nod32

Just an idea - make sure your Flash and Shockwave are up to date. You may be hitting a banner that an old version of Flash may not like for example.

Thanks.

Unfortunately that means every time I visit someones house, they go "say, I've got this problem that maybe you could look at......"

Ughhh! Maybe I should tell them that my time is typically worth $150 an hour?

*sigh*
