Problems with BlueBeat

Ok, I am running so many different spy, spam, firewall, and virus programs that it is becoming a pain in the ass to figure out what is blocking what. But I figured out one thing. Norton Security Suite blocks BlueBeat player. I went through all the programs turning them off one at a time to get the BlueBeat player to work. Norton is the one that was blocking. I was only running the ad blocking, privacy and virus, not their firewall (using the XP firewall). So there must be something in the cookie handling. I tried adding Bluebeat to the allowed sites and configuring Norton, but gave up. I guess I could keep trying to allow it, but I just turned it off. Now naked without virus detection. The price I will pay for 320 kbps digital music!
