Norton Internet Security
Norton will prompt you to "permit" or "block" the web accelerator file (pxclient.exe).
Once you click on "permit" it will continue to work as before. In case "block"
was chosen by mistake, please perform the following steps.
McAfee Firewall
McAfee prompts you to "Grant Access" or "block" the web accelerator file (pxclient.exe).

"block" was chosen by mistake, please perform the following steps.
