todarsey Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I have this Windows 7 laptop that I am having problems browsing the internet with. I have already scanned for viruses with Malwarebytes and Super Antispyware - no viruses. I have checked internet connection settings for proxies, no proxies. I can ping google, no problem. I can ping any computer on the LAN by IP and NetBOIS, no problem. I have disabled the firewall, reinstalled NIC drivers. I can browse the internet while in safe mode but I can't browse in normal mode and I also can't access network shares through WIndows Explorer.

Tripredacus Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 What browsers have you tried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todarsey Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 IE, Chrome, Firefox. None of them worked.I believe I might have found the problem. There was a leftover Norton service running and Norton wasn't installed anymore (I uninstalled it over a month ago). I uninstalled it and they all started working again. I had been working on this problem for 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunkindan Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Norton to me has always been a nightmare. its a heavy app that seems to not want to uninstall completely. You can try REVOUninstaller next time to fully remove Norton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
