I've got a feeling that Norton internet security strips strips the referrer out as a 
"security" measure.

But a word of caution, the referer is not a required header!  It is  
encouraged "as a convenience to the back end" but not a required  
attribute of a request.  We were bitten by this at tribe.net as I was  
relying on referer being there all the time which isn't true for all  
browsers.  It turns out that we had a case of IE6 on Windows XP (or  
something like that) where the referer was not in fact being passed in.
