[Crosspost to IE General newsgroup]
1. Did you disable NAV, any/all Norton Add-ons, & the Norton Firewall and
then enable the Windows Firewall before you installed IE8?
2. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode (i.e., with
Norton Anti-Phishing disabled)? To start IE in No Add-ons mode:
=> Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without
Add-ons; or
=> Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No add-ons).
Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode:

3. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using!
4. Does the behavior persist if you boot into Safe Mode with Networking?
[Careful! Only remain in Safe Mode just long enough to test!]
5. Do you have an available Restore Point which predates the install of IE8?
<=Just asking for now!!
