Hi
I also have Norton antivirus running but I still use 1837, you just have to go to your firewall and allow the web address and you should be able to view anything you like

Just thought I'd add my bit...

I've found 1837online very useful but also frustrating because of the way names are indexed - I've used a lot of credits trying to find the right page sometimes.  If you're researching very unusual names, it's probably easier, but I usually get at least three pages to check for my surnames beginning ART (and zillions for my Jones surnames).

I don't have a credit card, I've paid using a debit card (Switch).  I've also received an email from them yesterday advising they are introducing new 'packages' of £10 and £15 worth of credits, which is much better than just the £5 and £25 they used to offer.

I'd definitely give it a go if you can, it's a fiver well spent.

On the Norton issue, I've got Norton Internet Security (firewall and antivirus package) and never had a problem with logging in or obtaining information.  Are you sure you have installed the viewer you need to view the images??  Might sound like a daft question, but it sounds as if that might be your problem.

Hi all

Adi's right, there is a time limit, but "1837online.com has widened the choice of payment options on its website by introducing two new pricing brackets - GBP 10 and  GBP 15. For GBP 10 you will receive 122 units valid for 60 days, while for GBP 15 you will receive 194 units valid for 90 days. For further details, see the payment section at http://www.1837online.com".

You can also now pay using BT Click and Buy if you don't have plastic.  Not that one should have to pay for viewing the Index (use FREE FreeBMD!  ;) ;))...
