my firewall is norton and it blocks my connection to the internet WHA I can do to fix this

-First, let me tell you what is obvious: Norton is not Microsoft (or vice versa).  If you need help with something your Norton product, you go to Norton / Symantec for assistance.

Uninstall all Norton products and go with a different antivirus (ONLY) solution and use Windows Firewall.  I address not only at random here - I'm saying this based on years of experience.

Get rid of Norton. Anything and everything that made by Norton.

With respect to the AntiVirus - free are fine: AVG,Avast,Avira

You could spend ~ 60USD during two years of eSET NOD32 AntiVirus (not more - just product AntiVirus) and which would be more worthwhile.

In your case, here is what I propose...

Choose a product other than Norton or McAfee. Get it.

Uninstall the Norton stuff (use their removal there tool.)

After a reboot - install your new product and update after the installation.

Run a full scan with it.

Then - just to make sure you started on the right foot...

Search for malware:

Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Remove everything it finds.

Reset.

  • Impossible to print to network printer with the firewall Windows blocks the outbound connection by default

    Hello

    I just installed a network printer.  The PC is on a private network.  The printer is the Brother printer and it connects to the wireless router via LAN.

    With the Windows Firewall, which allows outbound connection by default, I can print to the printer.

    However, if I change it to block the outgoing connection by default, I can print is more to it.  I've already activated in the preset group of Core Networking and sharing files and printer.

    In the Task Manager, a single exe comes from brother's installed file.  I've already activated a special rule for it and status monitor brother now shows the correct status of this printer.

    How can I find out what rules do I need to put?

    Thank you

    Answer seems simple.  The print spooler service (C:\Windows\System32\spoolsv.exe) must be added with the exception of outgoing.  I'm just surprised, that's not in the group for sharing files and printer.

  • How to use the windows firewall, to block the software on my computer to access internet

    When my computer is connected to the internet, other software installed on my computer connect to the internet without my knowledge. I want to stop this and want windows firewall to ask me whenever a program tries to connect to the internet. Please help me

    It will take some serious reading on your part.

    You can configure the Vista Firewall to be a two-way firewall; and it's very good.

    Read all the info in the link below:

    http://articles.TechRepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6098592.html

    At first glance, the Vista firewall seems to be identical to the Windows Firewall in Windows XP SP 2. But once you learn the secret to access its configuration settings advanced through the MMC snap-in, you will be able to configure and customize outbound and inbound rules to adapt to your specific needs.

    See you soon.

    I recently installed the last 16 (High Profile) updates to security, for most security updates and updates from net framework as well as the removal of malware for windows XP tool.

    After installing these updates, now my Windows Firewall turns off during 'Boot Up' on all restarts. If I try to load Internet Explorer, it will also not load up to minutes serveral / while this happens... That's fine, then finally my firewall itself loads Up quickly turns to Internet Explorer and back on during this time around the same time.

    After these updates these things are happening on my computer now, it's as if there is a process running, but nothing run any virus, Trojan or worm etc just these updates caused this problem. I don't know if it updates is corrupt or not, but have tried different things as system file checker /scan etc with no luck.

    (1) computer boots to the top and seems to Load Up Fine ' until the ' or 'Look at this' but isn't, something is running in the background or process "wing unstalled" is obviously "unhooked", etc..

    2) try to load Internet Explorer last minutes and is very slow to load up, even if I 'don't load Internet Explorer' must still a long while that as in the firewall turn off for awhile some several «minutes» (way too long), before "auto turn on automatically return.

    (3) turns firewall Windows itself on "finally" as Internet Explorer finally loads upwards as well the two Internet Explorer is able to load 'definitely' and the firewall is on "finally" as many minutes later as listed above, at the same time.

    This could be the cause? Only, it has begun to 'After' I ran windows update and installed the 'most recently high security updates for windows XP' there were 16 listed mainly security updates and updates of net framework as well as the software removal tool windows malware.

    That's all that is changed on my system, I tried many things, nothing seems to fix this problem with my computer. I know for a fact that these updates are the cause, but am not sure that you caused it? Or how do to solve this problem, any sugguestions would be appreciated.

    Hello!

    You use DHCP or a static IP address?
    If you use DHCP, you must turn on your laptop or set a static IP address.

    You have yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager?
    Maybe the driver needs to be updated.

    If you are using a firewall, disable it. Perhaps, it blocks the internet connection.

    Good bye

  • Satellite L500 cannot connect to the internet

    I just bought a new Toshiba L500
    I have a NETGEAR router that works on my other laptop, desktop and IPHONE, but it does not work on my Toshiba L500.

    I can't find the NETGEAR router using the icon in the lower right corner but when I login I get this message error "Windows could not connect to netgear.

    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Hey,.

    Do you have an IP address of your router and have you tried a static IP address?

    Also, check your firewall settings. Maybe the firewall is blocking the connection to your router.
    In addition, an update of the firmware on your router is always advisable. :)

  • PSAA9 satellite A100 - unable to browse the Internet

    Hello

    I reinstalled the operating system on a friends computer laptop A100, installation of WINXP pro.

    After I installed, I noticed that a lot of missing drivers so I scoured internet and downloaded most of them. The problem I have is that the ethernet connection seems to not work properly. I installed the driver on the toshiba site and hooked it up to a test network to my polytec.

    On this network to test an internet connection is available, but the laptop cannot browse the internet! I can ping other PC networking on mobile Internet sites and ping but cannot browse their IE. Other network PC cannot ping the laptop automatically obtained IP address.

    Any ideas what's happening?

    Hello!

    Have you tried another browser like Firefox? I don t use IE because Firefox is much faster and I can't get a large number of modules.

    In addition, you should try to disable the firewall on the laptop. Maybe it s blocks the internet connection or the internet browser.

    Last but not least try to use a static IP address. You can change this in the TCP/IP settings.

  • Windows Firewall is blocking a program

    For some reason, the windows firewall does not do what I wanted to do. I blocked a dozen other programs before you access internet with good success using WF... except for this program a... little matter how much I try to configure the firewall, it seems are starting to show more of bugs and defects... so I have this free software that still has access to the internet and displays this annoying window with a large number of ads... (it's not malware because I scanned with malwarebytes... nor do I have a virus because I have avira and windows defender, fully implemented to update and regularly scans my pc..) So I disabled the program in Windows firewall so that she would not access the internet... but after running that software I can still see a connection being "established" by using tcp view... then I went t advance settings to create a firewall to block the program directly... in and out... but after reboot and rule control tcp view... sound still there... the connection is still established and bytes are packets or bytes are sent and received... so I check the firewall... in the window 'allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall' and saw that the program was unchecked... when I see it advance option... it clearly says its governed blocked and the rule is enabled.  So I went back to the "allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall" and not the program but when I went back to the ahead option my blocking rule found himself distraught... Is it really normal for the Windows Firewall to act like that? Is this a bug that when I disable something in advance options in that it ends up getting enabled "allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall?

    -What is the name of the application that attempts to connect to the internet?

    Looks like an adware to me, try the following steps:

     

    Completely remove the firewall:

    To remove all files and registry entries related to the firewall on your computer, perform the following steps:

    (1) on Start > run type cmd and press enter to open the command prompt window.
    (2) in the command prompt window, run the following command:

    SC delete SharedAccess

    Running this command removes all files and registry entries related to the firewall service on your computer and allows you to completely remove the firewall on your computer.

    Now to reinstall Windows Firewall:

    Run one after another exactly the following commands at the command prompt.

    (1) rundll32 setupapi, InstallHinfSection Ndi-Steelhead 132 %windir%\inf\netrass.inf

    (2) netsh firewall reset
