    Mysterious code appears in web pages.

    Hi There:

    All of a sudden the below javascript code appears on many of my web
    pages. No one else sees it from their browser. I only see it in IE and
    Netscape by looking at the source code. When I download the file to my
    hard drive the code vanishes. It appears only when I look at it online
    from my browsers. Any ideas?


    <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
    <html>
    <head>


    <script language="JavaS cript">
    <!--

    function SymError()
    {
    return true;
    }

    window.onerror = SymError;

    var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;

    function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
    {
    return (new Object());
    }

    window.open = SymWinOpen;

    //-->
    </script>


    </head>
    <body background="../../MARBL03M.jpg" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0"
    marginwidth="0" marginheight="0 ">

    </body>

    <script language="JavaS cript">
    <!--

    window.open = SymRealWinOpen;

    //-->
    </script>

    </html>

    A Google search for "SymWinOpen " revealed:



    with the following explanation:

    "this crap ist inserted by the norton firewall 2003.
    the SymWinOpen is there only if the ad blocker is turned on, the
    SymError cannot be turned of w/o turning off the firewall".
