Something strange has happened to my computer.

I cant log onto sites like online banking, skybet, play.com, ebay. The only link I can see between these sites is that its ones I buy things off.

Have I set up some kind of firewall/antivirus/buying stuff filter or something?

Please hurry as I have to put my bets on before footy starts

also, I cant get into msn.

What firewall software do you have?

least you can get on here though

I just have windows firewall but its switched off i think

Ok I think you use firefox don't you? Have you tried closing firefox and then using Internet Explorer?

yeah doesnt work in IE either

when i switch my computer on it says norton symantic shit cannot load, please restart your computer. I worry for it

I haven't heard of this problem before but sometimes explorer gets bogged up.

Press ctrl+alt+del to bring up the task manager. Then on the processes tab look for one called explorer.exe. Right click on that and select 'end process'. It's improtant you stay in task manager for the next bit. Go to the applications tab and select the new task button. Type in 'explorer.exe'. Then try firefox/IE again

Sounds like a spyware problem or if your norton is norton internet security more than likely that's the thing that is bogged up. Maybe disable norton (just for now) and see if that works

Failing that this internet guide may help you

it already is disabled :(


I'll run spyware check

is it bad to run spybot and adaware at the same time? thats what im doing

Yeah I would just run one at a time

too late now jerkass!

You can stop one  :o  Oh well. Look at that link I posted while you're waiting for the scan to finish

see the thing with the link is that I cant see any link

ok I see the link now.

thank you for your help simon. May you be blessed with a thousand pies

:D  Wayhay it works then. No worries, I like to pretend to be (read: be) geeky  8)

it doesnt work cock nose

:(

I will leave you to breathe more onion breath on your pc as you get more stressed then, I'm off to watch the football  :beers:

ok im back from the pub and there is still no solution. Whats next on the checklist Simon?

seeing as though you seem to be somewhere more interesting I am uninstalling noron antivirus

Boo! Yeah if norton isn't working re-installing would be a good idea. Sounds as though norton screwed everything up really

Damn him to hell :evil:

Graham Norton Anti-Virus  :chunder:

ok Norton is uninstalled so lets all have a party.

I can now get on my betting site

Seeming as this is about computer issues......thought I'd ask a question!

I've just set up a photobucket account and have uploaded pictures on it, how do I post picutres on the forum? do I have to post the link to each picture or something?

I'm usless with this kind of thing!
