WebCT and components within WebCT, such as eLive and Live Classroom, require access to your computer so you can both send and receive information. For this reason, if you have problems with it, we suggest you turn off any firewalls and internet security programs you may have running.
Note: We do not support or endorse Norton Internet Security.
However, frequent conflicts have encouraged us to create this
documentation.
If you are having problems opening quizzes, discussion or email messages within WebCT, you probably have a popup blocker installed. One of the more common popup blockers now is including in Norton's Internet Secuirty suite.
Disable Norton Internet Security's Popup Blocker
The easiest way to disable popups is to use the Web assistant toolbar built in to Internet Explorer. You can choose to uncheck Block ads on this site and Block popups on this site.
If you don't see the Web Assistant menu, you'll need to disable the firewall while using WebCT.
Disable Norton's Internet Security
Depending on your security settings, Norton may block crucial components of WebCT from running. If simply turning your Norton popup blocker has not fixed the problem, try disabling it completely by following the instructions below.
Right click on the icon (see screenshot below):
Choose Disable from the menu.
You may be prompted to disable it for a certain amount of time. We suggest you set it for the approximate length of time that you will be logged on to WebCT.
If this doesn't work, you still may have another popup blocker installed. Please click here for more documentation.
