Try adding it to your "trusted sites" zone.If that doesn't help,post back with your settings for tools/internet options/security/internet/custom level...might need some adjustments or simply setting them to default might do it.
I too got a virus a couple of times with nortons, believe me its not worth paying for the free AVG does just as good

Sue,even the best AV will miss something. There is a site (German I think,if someone can help) that has tests for all common programs over a period of some years and Norton did come first with something 70-80% success ! AVG is good.
