No internet access with Internet Security

We have installed Norton Internet Security system and have had nothing but problems with our internet service since. We recently had DSL installed and the problem has worsened. I called Qwest and have literally spent hours with the support techs. The last time was Monday. We tried every configuration possible and finally he concluded it was the Security. I need to be on the internet frequently and the only way I can access it is by disabling the security, which makes me very uncomfortable. Can you please help? Thanks Teresa

 

Dump NIS and get ZoneAlarm

 

Just my own opinion, buy Norton is one of the worst security systems. It slows your PC down so much that you think it's crashed sometimes. Most computer work that I do for people I ask first if they have Norton on their systems. The second thing I do is uninstall it. You can get other programs for internet security. My suggestion is getting an external firewall for your PC and then run an internal firewall that is effecient, plus a virus scanner. If you haven't downloaded SP2 yet, then it's a good place to start. I know a lot of people like Norton, but they also are all brainwashed... You can get an external for about $80.

 

I am not sure if it is your case ,but so many people that installs a internet security like a firewall , when they just launch a prog like Iexplorer , the firewall ask you first time if you want that application connect to the net , they click NO ,what ! no ,so how are u gonna surf if you tell your firewall to block everything !!!!
