Apparently, this is happening alot. On steampowered there is a 6 page thread on it, with no help whatsoever. ARGHHHHHHH |

But, it's only happening to those that use Norton AntiVirus. No others seem to be affected. It was apparently caused by the latest signature files from Symantic. Disable script blocking...or, if your version doesn't have that option (2006 doesn't)...disable auto protect and you'll be able to get on. This is a Symantic problem.
Keep in mind, disabling auto protect leaves you no protection whatsoever. It appears that's the only way you'll be playing until Symantic fixes this. |

Yep, that seems to be the only work around at the moment. For me, not something Im willing to do just to play, although Ive been having tons of fun lately. I'll just wait till someone fixes it.....or until my match tonorrow night. LOL |

please change to AVG Free at http://free.grisoft.com and use your windowsXP+ built in firewall. if you dont have at least windowsXP, use zone alarm for a firewall. |

I use avg free on all my computers (3 others) except my own desktop. Now that Norton has expired on that one...I'll be using avg on that one also.
If you don't stray into dangersous places on the net...you don't need anything more powerful. Hueristics ? Who on earth needs that. |
