iirc Norton strips the HTTP_REFERER header which makes
tracking/conversion applications relying on that not work either. You
could use the document.referer if they have javascript enabled.

function newWindow(newContent)
 {
  if (document.referrer = "http://www.referringPageName.html")
  winContent = window.open(newContent, 'nextWin',
'right=0,top=20,width=350,height=350,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizab
le=no')
 }

or in a form:

<script TYPE="text/javascript">
document.write("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"REF\"
value=\""+document.referrer+"\">");
</script>

cheers,
