For some time, I have not been able to access my Yahoo!Messenger. I have uninstalled and reinstalled countless times! The only way to access it is to disable norton, but even that is only a temporary fix before it freezes and closes! Anyone know anything about repairing it?

Well what exactly happens? Does it even sign on? Or does it sign on and then freeze? Which Yahoo Messenger version are you trying to use?

I have a similar on-going issues, works fine for a while then I can no longer receive any messages, starting to wish I still had the old version. For a few days the “no proxies” setting worked though.

You need to set your Norton settings to allow Yahoo Messenger.
FWIW, you don’t need to be paying for Norton. You can get free firewalls and anti-virus that are just as good. Check out these free versions: http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en&lid=staticcomp_za and http://free.grisoft.com
