My code doesn't break perse, but it just doesn't notify a user when it should (adding an item to their cart). I'll probably just have to resort to something different like putting a query string value on the url or something. I'm just glad I was able to figure it out before I tore my applicationa part thinking that it was broken. Yeah, its on my radar to take care of for sure.

It's unfortunate that Norton's Antivirus now does this as my previous experience with this intrusive (default) feature has been through Systemworks and Internet Security. I have assisted many users with this exact problem. Hiding or preventing the passing of the referring URL causes more problems than protections. Since it seems Norton Antivirus is suddenly doing this by default, without user intervention, will you pursue coding a fallback method or otherwise changing your code to handle this problem?
