Unless of course I managed to somehow open the wrong program..

Oh, I forgot to answer your question, Jazzman. I was running Norton Personal Firewall, until this happened. I believe it stopped working due to this problem, considering they happened at practically the same moment.

There's the main suspect for me Sixty. I would try uninstalling 'Snortin' Norton completely (easier said than done), then try again.
You may need to go to Norton's web site for the removal tool. Install AVG7 (free) anti virus and Sygate Personal Firewall.

Eheh... ahem (>_>) I guess my brain's not working very quickly... I'm not usually this unperceptive...

Anywho, I did such, and still a no go. *sigh*

EDIT: Typed too slow, currently trying what Vidster said....

check the solutions on the symantec link i posted, you will most likely have to edit the registry to delete all mention of Norton...if the solution on the symantec link doesnt work
post back

I still have a Norton process in my Add/Remove programs and nothing i do will remove it :? I wouldn't mind but i have never used it and never will :angry:

Er, I was working backwards, so, I did Vidster's first. It would appear that that's all I needed to do in the first place was get rid of Norton Firewall... although, it's still most excellent that I freed up, like, nearly 5 gigs of space... so, Sygate Personal Firewall is good?

sygate is good and so is the free version of outpost, though sygate is more configurable..can you access secure sites now? Make sure and reboot after all the steps...

I can, 'tis all fixed. (^_^) *hugs all around* Danke schön, y'all, for puttin' up with me.

Another x at the side of 'Snortin' Norton
Glad your all fixed up Sixty :thumbs:

PS. Make sure you install and update AVG7 and Sygate as soon as possible.
