    I was surfing around this afternoon looking for info on "Rose Campion" and opened BackyardGardener.com
    My NORTON security threw up all kinds of warnings and blocked the site!! I tried backing out as quick as I could but my computer froze up :eek: I think everything is ok. Thank goodness for NORTON

    I have stopped going to backyardgardener because of all the pop-up ads, roll over ads and other things. I wrote them once about it and was told that without the ads they couldn't keep the site online.....so they will continue without me.

    I had the same thing happen to me which was really annoying. I hate it when my computer freezes up. As you say though - thank goodness for Norton!!
