I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I could use some help with this.

I seem to be on the wrong end of Norton Internet Security blocking more than ads. It seems to be complaining about the Pair.com banner ad. OK, fine, it doesn't show the ad. On all (most?) pages on this site except for Recently Active Threads, everything displays fine. But on Recently Active Threads the javascript gets mangled (I think), and all I get after the basic navigation header is, in plaintext,

function toggleMenu(id){ element = document.getElementById(id); elemen
+t.className = (element.className.toLowerCase() == 'expanded' ? 'colla
+psed' : 'expanded'); }
[download]

I'm using Mozilla Firefox v1.0.4.

Turning off NIS completely, I get the expected content, properly displayed, including the pair.com ad.

I've looked in the log viewer for NIS, and it reports the pair.com banner ad as being blocked, because of the dimensions. I've added a permit rule for the permonks.com site, and html string with "pair.com" in it. Now I get the ad, but still the same misinterpreted javascript in plaintext. And the log doesn't show anything else being blocked.

I thought I recalled a user setting in perlmonks to turn off the banner ads, but I can't find it now.

I'd like to keep NIS active, allow the pair.com ads, and get this one page to load correctly.

I checked the page sources with NIS on and off, and the first difference, in the badly formed page (embedded in <code> tags):

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function SymError()
{
  return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

//-->
</script>

For context, you can see this near the end of the badly formed page (embedded in <code> tags):
