Hyperlinks in Internet Explorer 8

I'm running Internet Explorer 8 in Windows 7. Norton is the security package.
When an e-mail has a hyerlink and I click on it I receive an answer that the
system will not allow it. Any suggestions?

Check your security settings.

Look in your email client to see if you have security options that prevent
dangerous links to be opened. You have trouble with settings, there's no
reason that IE would not go where you tell it unless you had a security
setting that disallows it.

You have security settings within IE, and there are security options buried
within Windows Live Mail -- formerly Outlook Express. There are other email
clients out there too, you will have to check the security settings there if
you use them.

Did you try disabling Norton for a few minutes?

Get rid of Norton?

Have you ever used a Norton product? If so, when was the last time?
Just curious.

Please quote the ENTIRE error message. "The system won't allow it" is so
vague as to be completely useless.
