smart screen filter on IE 8 for XP

I have IE 8 on both my computers and this isnt a issue on one but on my
other computer the smart screen filter goes off every time I close IE 8 . I
open IE 8 check it and its off so I turn it back on again,,then shut IE 8
out,go back in to check and Smart Screen Filter is off . I also turned it
back on by going to options and then Advanced tab and under security turn it
on and check apply ,ok,,but it still goes off everytime i close the IE 8 and
go back and check to see if it stays on. Could this be because of the Norton
Security 2009 ? Just seems odd it keeps shutting off. I can use it if i
remember to turn it on every time i open a new IE 8 page. Thanks,would like
some advice.

1. Did you disable NAV, any/all Norton Add-ons, & the Norton Firewall and
then enable the Windows Firewall before you installed IE8?

2. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode (i.e., with
Norton Anti-Phishing disabled)? To start IE in No Add-ons mode:

=> Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without
Add-ons; or

=> Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No add-ons).

3. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using!

4. Does the behavior persist if you boot into Safe Mode with Networking?
[Careful! Only remain in Safe Mode just long enough to test!]

5. Do you have an available Restore Point which predates the install of IE8?
<=Just asking for now!!

> in answer to your question 1. no i didnt but i didnt on my other computer and the smart screen works fine. 2. I did disable the add ons like you suggested,it didnt make a difference. 3.I did as you said in 3 ,said that in my first message when i asked for help,it didnt make a difference.4. I have NOT gone to testing it in safe mode ,but was hoping not to have to do that,havent in years and even if it was to make a difference in safe mode iwouldnt know what to do from that point anyways lol.5. NOT going to go to a restore point for just this issue,mainly was hoping for a easy solution and wondering if anyone else was having the same issue. I have the NOrton 2009 Security anyways so this smart screen is probably just over kill but i like to figure things out. Thanks for your time PA Bear. I do appreciate it What does (MS MVP) mean after your name ?
