I have a problem with Norton, and I don't know how to fix it....I'm hoping that all the 'puter geeks here can give me some hints!

I have SBC DSL as my ISP.  I also have Norton internet security.  Recently (as in the last week) I can't send and recieve email via Outlook without first disabling Norton.  SBC says it's Norton's fault, BUT....I haven't been able to play any Pogo games for the past week either, and Pogo says that's SBC's fault - which makes me wonder if it's really Norton that's the issue with my email problem.

I don't know what I'm doing, so I'm not comfortable going and tweaking Norton unassisted or unadvised.  Can someone give me some advice or point me in the right direction?

(As a side note, my year contract with SBC is up next month, at which time I'm cancelling my account with them.  They've pissed me off a few times, so they can shove their phone line AND their internet service up their ass.)

Thanks for your help!
