I have found from personal experience and of what friends have told me, that symantec
programs often cause more problems than they fix. In some occasions Norton Anti-virus
had blocked internet access. When you tried to access a website, you were redirected
to a small page which said something similar to:
Your pc is infected with a virus, download PC doctor to fix the problem.
I'm not sure what the name of the program was exactly, but i managed to find out
that it was a symantec program and uninstalled Norton to see if that was the problem.
It was a nightmare to uninstall but when i did it I could once again connect to the
internet. Two of my friends also had this problem.
