If you use Norton’s (Symantec) Internet Security or Firewall and the Ad Blocking feature, you may need to take these steps to be able to use the OuterWorlds Mall.
This may be applicable to other advertising-blocking software and firewall products including as well. Please check your documentation or Help files for similar settings as documented below.

Why this is an issue for You, and for Us:
We use banner ads from our suppliers, and they supply the pretty graphics for us. They also keep track of who comes to them from OuterWorlds, so we can get credit for your purchases. This is how your purchases help support OuterWorlds.

Unfortunately Norton’s banner “Ad Blocking” ‘protects’ you from seeing our stores and connecting to them!

Below is a short explanation of how to be able to see and use all the OuterWorlds Stores that in no way compromises your security, and your firewall remains running. We also do not use ‘pop-up or -under advertising, so that setting also remains unchanged. You are of course free to change this setting back at any time.
Return here to remind you how to enable all the OuterWorlds Mall stores and help support OuterWorlds!

To allow Banner Ads in Norton ‘Internet Security’
(Internet Security is used for this example. Firewall product may be slightly different)

  • Double-click the icon in your system tray to open the Norton Internet Security window.
  • Under the System Status find and click the words ‘Ad Blocking’, which should indicate it is ‘On’
  • In the right side panel, click on ‘Configure’ near the bottom
  • UN-check the ‘Turn On Ad Blocking’ checkbox.

Note: You will probably need to clear your ‘cache’ from your web browser, also. I know I had to. Don’t worry, this is only all the internet junk that gets saved to your hard drive anyway, and cleaning it out occasionally happens anyway as Internet Explorer has limits on disk space it is allowed to use.

To clear your Internet Explorer cached pages

In Internet Explorer, go to:

  • Go to the menu Tools | Internet Options
    On the General tab, and in the second ‘section’ titled Temporary Internet Files, click the middle button titled Delete Files. This will delete all the cached pages you have viewed.
  • Don’t delete All Off-line Content. It isn’t necessary.
  • Now if you use the Refresh button, you should see all the fabulous OuterWorlds Mall Stores!

To restore your Norton settings, merely reverse that checkbox. You may still see the Mall ads/links even then, until your cache fills up again.

Thank you for your patronage, and thanks for your persistence!!
