Firewall & Anti Virus User
 

Hi yeahnoiknow6

I am a Norton's user, however I am having a problem trying to grasp what you are saying, and your dinky little red writing doesn't help much either.

Please do a repost and try to explain your problem clearly.

when i click on norton on my taskbar, it brings up some sort of menu for the software. no where on this is there any mentions of firewalls and how to disable them. my windows firewall is disabled, but that hasn't done anything for me. i can connect a little bit, but not enough for any search results. how should i go about disabling my firewall..i'm assuming through norton?

yeahnoiknow6

What norton do you have Norton internet security, Norton Firewall, or Norton Anti Virus

i have norton antivirus.

Norton anti Virus does not have a firewall in it. Are you using a router

i have no idea. i don't even know what a router is--i'm in my dorm room if it means anything??

Hi yeahnoiknow6

You sound like your in either a university or a school of some type try downloading winxp from www.winxp.com and see if it works if not your more than likely being blocked.

Sgt

blocked how? and how do i become unblocked? hah

Guys

It seems that yeahnoiknow6's college firewall is blocking P2P communication, unless someone knows away around this and can explain to yeahnoiknow6 in ABC terms then he is stuck.

Hi ukbobboy01

I Agree with you

He's Stuck, wish somebody could come up with a way to get past these Schools, Universitys.

Although seem to remeber somwhere on this forum, Somebody is trying just that, but can't remeber where at present

will have to do a search through the forums for it

Sgt

thanks everyone, anyway.

You could try a proxy. There's different types of proxies but they're not easy to set up. A Fix for those whose ISP's block Limewire pages 1 - 3 which have links to alternative instructions.

Have you ever considered trying McAfee? We bought McAfee when we bought our Dell computer. We got McAfee Security Center, VirusScan, Privacy Service and Spamkiller all in one. You should look into it.:cool:

Hopefully McAfee has ironed the problem they used to have. when you un installed it McAfee would remove some dll files that weren't part of it and mess up your computer. But it has been a long time since I tested it 3 or 4 years but I had a hell of a time fixing my computer the last time.

i just received norton antivirus when i purchased this computer.. a gateway. yeah they installed this for me when i bought it.
