On Microsoft's page for PC Security /windows
2000/firewall.asp: all links to AV web sites go to
Microsoft Homepage when clicked on.

Don't know URLs off-hand so conducted searches on Google:
The following result in Page Cannot be Displayed; also,
tracerts are same as with Symantic and others previously
traced.

Computer Associates
F-Secure

These sites were accessible:

BlaceIce PC
Panda Software
Tiny Software
ZoneAlarm

Any advice?

Thank you
