All right then more info means new things to check. Assuming you removed all Norton programs with Windows add/remove programs then we need to check the Windows firewall and see if it is now activated and what its setting are. If you just deleted Norton files without using add/remove programs you will need to reload expired copu of nortons and then delete it.AWB
OK,
I deleted Norton with Windows Add/Remove programs (though it says its in my Recycle bin....can it haunt me??)
I went into regedit and found no Norton references (though I found gobs of Symantec :::SPIT ON THEM:::)
My Windows Firewall is turned off at present because,
well, because ;)
..you know I forgot about XP's firewall. I still use 2000. At work it has to be disabled or the clients cannot get outside to the web.
