Is it me, or has MINI made some change to the configurator so that it does something to your computer?

I've been trying all weekend on two computers to access the configurator but every time Norton Internet Security (the Antivirus & Firewall package) flags up to say that it has just blocked an attempt to access my computer - from the MINI site!

Anyone else noticed it?

On the MINIUSA site:

No trouble with NAV.

I use a hardware firewall rather than software - so can say anything about that.

Just tried the UK site - no issues, works fine.

The latest version of Norton firewall includes a pop-up ad blocker. Since the mini configurator is essentially a pop-up, Norton is probably blocking it.

Solution: turn off the pop-up blocker,

if it is your pop up blocker, most enter by doing this.
go to miniusa.com
hold down control button and click on "enter mini usa" keep holding until the new window pops up
that works for me.
