You aren't running in Private mode are you?

If that isn't the issue, which security suite are you running?

I am not in Private Browsing and I'm running Norton version 6.4.0.9. I recall unchecking it back when I first installed 18 (or maybe it was 17) but I think it greyed out after an automatic update???????
