Deleteddomains.com has a useful name-checker that searches for names with selected letters, however it hasn't been working recently - just reverts to main page with option to see newest deletions.
Does anyone know of a useful free alternative to spot deleted or soon-to-be-deleted domain names?

Nope - running Norton Security 2003 - tried with add-blocking off but makes no difference, still will not show the list of domains. I am using Windows XP and IE6 with SP1.

Are you setup to accept cookies? If not, enable and try. Also, you could temporarily disable Norton just to see if that makes a difference. If so, at least you have narrowed the problem.

Set up to accept cookies okay - Norton is the block - it works with it disabled, I wonder why. What about that site would Norton object to?

I have had similar experiences with every Norton product I have used over the last 10 years. Every once in a while something jumps up to haunt you. Glad you found a solution to the problem.

So I guess you can end up saying "If in doubt, disable norton :p"

I got caught up with this thread and checked - worked fine, but this old Domainaholic picked Hostola.com - please STOP tempting me! ;)
