As a computer owner, you have the right to choose what you see on your computer screen. But, please don't forget that 'Content blocking software' or 'Ad Blocking Software' can alter the appearance and meaning of the content of a website. Some 'content blocking software' (such as Norton) has even been known to reverse the meaning of the information that we provide - so, if it is installed on your computer, please turn it off or set your preferences to NOT block content from this web site: startinbusiness.co.uk
Leave your pop-up blocker ON if you wish.

See some screen pictures showing how Norton affects our content.

How to turn blocking off
In Norton Internet Security 2005 :
Open Norton's main menu > Click Norton Anti-Spam > Click Ad Blocking > Click the 'Turn Off' button (if it is showing). After doing this you may need to remove any cached pages from your internet cache to ensure that you are viewing 'fresh pages' (that are being displayed as intended).

We don't mind the fact that the Norton Software is helping to rid the World of the most annoying examples of dastardly, evil, online advertising - some advertising tactics can be very costly to the users in terms of time and data transfer costs. Webmasters will just have 'tone down' their advertising methods and consider charging subscription fees to heavy users of information, services and support.

However, please don't write angry letters to us demanding that our website is not working if the software that you are running on your computer is altering the web pages that you see.
