IE7 playing games with me

Just recently (possibly since SP1) a number of web sites that I frequently
visit have become inaccessible via my Vista Hoe Premium/IE7 PC. I can access
them OK using WinXP/IE7 on my laptop so have no idea what the problem can
be.

The error message states "The website declined to show the page....This
error (HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect
to the website, but it does not have permission to view the webpage". With
the exception of one site, none of the other four sites require any kind of
log-in

I use Norton Internet Security but have disabled web protection to see if
that helps - nothing, I've also binned my temp internet files - nothing!

I did do a clean install of Norton, but I could try again

My suggestion is trying with Norton totally uninstalled.

What idiot would access the internet without at least an anti-virus
software.

The Internet is not very dangerous if you're careful. Besides, there are
good, free anti-vifus programs that don't screw up Windows as much as
Norton, McAfee and the newest Trend. A good firewall is necessary, but the
Windows Firewall is plenty for a home user.
