I find it somewhat hilarious that google and gmail would outright not load with Family Safety enabled :-) Maybe it is time for me to re-consider purchasing Norton's parental controls? Perhaps things in this regard will have to be worked out on Microsoft's end? According to their site:, many changes are slated for this program. Performed an un-install, then installed the newest version, didn't seem to change things. Then I thought that maybe the version I had was just no good anymore.

As for possible solutions, I set Windows Live Family Safety to looser restrictions, that did not seem to help.

I specifically went with Windows Live to avoid the hassle of Norton's burdensome parental controls, but now, find myself in a similar situation with Windows Live. Just to see, I disabled Windows Live Family Safety, and, sure enough, internet browsing returned to normal. I remembered some time back, when Norton's parental controls were hindering the internet. At first, I did some routine maintenance/ and scans, however, when the problem persisted, I was almost ready to go in with ComboFix and a number of other industrial-grade strength applications. Other sites like Safe Web and Barnes & Noble are accessible, but, even at that, browsing seems hindered. Even outside of demands of my work, a recent family situation of which is still ongoing, continues to take a majority of my time to say the least.Īs of recently, I've noticed that when Family Safety is enabled, google/gmail will not load.

I apologize, haven't been on here in what seems like ages.
