hey guys can some one please help me out, I've been having trouble with nortin security it wont let me access the net when its enabled. I've tried reconfiguring the rules for the internet access. also have tried creating a new list of programs to let them access the internet. and its still not working I even upgraded to a newer version of nortin and it still dosent work. after I installed the new version I scaned for virusis and found like 22 infected files and still no luck. I have had my older brother and a friend of my moms look at it who both know a whole lot more about pcs than I do and they havent been able to figure it out either so if any body has any suggestions or tips they would be much appreciated. also when nortin went wacko on me I was on the net when it froze and had to reset the comp when it restarted it had deleted my list of programs to let through to the net and no longer enables by itself I have to enable if I want it to come on.

Ouch, you may have picked up an Anti-Norton Virii, which infects norton when installing.

So a reformat and reinstall of windows does the trick :)

But

Maybe Norton is blocking packets from your router if you have one?
