That is quite interesting. I would love to know what is causing the problem. I suspect Norton is chewing up the current JavaScript files looking for possible exploits on every request. Not a good situation because I intend to use far more JavaScript in future. (The pending new board code is very JavaScript heavy.)

I aint had a virus scanner for 5 years and my pc is fine (or firewall)
So, you may not know it, but it's not unlikely that your computer has been exploited for various reasons, if you haven't used any anti-virus or firewall for 5 (!!!) years.
[Edit: If you've ever experienced that your machine suddenly slows down and Internet gets annoyingly slow, this could be one reason for it. Although, there are many factors to consider here, so a sudden slowdown doesn't necessarily mean your computer is infected.]

I have AVG installed but a couple of months ago one of the updates failed to cmplete, and now i can't update it any more. I've tried re-installing it, but still it gives the same 'canot complete update' message every time. Anyone else had this?
Check your program control in the firewall control.
