i have windows xp, aol 9.0vr, IE7.0 and Norton antivirus.

everytime i try to download a picture from aol email, the computer freezes and i am unable to download jpeg, or pps or anything. i cant upload pics to place in ads on craigslist. i went to office depot, paid over $170 dollars and was told to remove norton and put mcaffee, i agreed. that didnt solve the problem. i ve done everything i can think of and need help now. ive deleted browsing history, reset internet settings to factory, reset ie settings, deleted cookies, cache, etc. rebooted, and no relief.

initially the download manager would download a few pics sporadically, and it had nothing to do with picture size, but now it has completely stopped doing so even after clearing browsing history.

i really dont want to put mcaffee anti virus cuz ive paid for norton already for the year.

any ideas? any suggestions? i feel this is a million dollar question but im sure with your experience, its probably a quick fix that I am not aware of.

thanks again.

Are you using a third party download manager? If so have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the application?

Hi BamBam,

Mike, from the Norton Support Team here.

Which Norton product and version do you currently have installed? Please let me know. You should be using the latest version, which is the 2011 version. To ensure that you have the latest version installed, please visit the Norton Update Center .

If you are already using the latest version, please manually run LiveUpdate and then complete a Full System Scan to check for infections which may be causing the problem you are having. If no infections are found or if they are remdiated by Norton, the next step is to temporarily disable Norton Auto-Protect to see if it makes a difference. You can temporaily disable this feature by right-clicking on the Norton icon in the Taskbar and choose "Diable Auto-Protect."

Please try this out and let me know the outcome.

Thanks,
Mike

is better than ever, which you'll see in just a few quick clicks.

so now i feel everytime i try to download or save something, the computer freezes. this is what happens when i download a picture.

when office depot put mcafee instead of norton, the machine did work.
if i disable the auto protect, will i be unprotected for virus scans of those pictures i am downloading?
thanks for all of your help.

Hi BamBam,

Thanks for the response and you re indeed using the latest version of Norton 360. It appears that the problem you are having is related to Internet Explorer itself. I only support Norton products but I am sure that someone on Tech Support Guy can help you in further troubleshooting the issue. I would strongly reccomend that you install an alternate browser to see if you experience the same issue when you visit web pages.

Thanks,
Mike
