What the heck is this?

[Claude Schneegans]

Hi,

since I'm using IE 6, every page I look at, even the ones I developed my self have this included:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function SymError()
{
return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

//-->
</script>

What the &?%$ is this?

Claude,
"function SymError" (Norton product error)
This problem happens when NIS or NPF has been configured to block scripts,
ActiveX controls, Java applets, referral information, or advertisements.

Norton is behind the eight ball if you know what i mean. I
recommend switching Anti-virus Systems if you don't want
wacked stuff like this and also if you really want to be
protected, truely.

Well, anyway, I tried to uninstall the "Internet protection" and keep the anti-virus system, but everything got uninstalled :-( I was just about renew my subscription... just too bad for symantek ;-)

What brand would you recommand?

The free version of AVG:

Don't install the OE5 plugin and do turn off email scanning. It provides no
added protection.
