Have you tried connecting with both Norton & XP firewall turned off? I don't normally recommend it but it's worth a try to find out whether that's the issue.

Check your personal messages & follow the advice carefully. That must be done if the suggestion is to have any chance at succeeding.

You could do that, I initially had Norton and when it ran out I just got one of the free AV's that many recommend in this forum...
I have this one, try it to start with and we can discuss alternatives a bit later...

Use your computer's search to look for Norton & Symantic...you might find a few things still hanging around.
