This is going to be a short one because I have to get to the digital photography user group soon. I just wanted everyone to know that I saw two computers with exactly the same problem today.
They were connected to the Internet, but couldn’t view the Internet. In other words, they could get windows updates and use programs like Yahoo! Messenger, but they couldn’t view web pages.
Here’s what I did to fix the problem:
1. Uninstalled Norton Antivirus
I then Installed AVG to make sure that their system was protected.
Both systems also perked up significantly after changing the antivirus.
Both clients asked me, "Why do so many peope user Norton if it causes so many problems."
"Brand loyalty and high advertising budget," I explained. The same reason people buy iPods and Sony branded electronics.
