Last night i ran into some major problems after installing Norton Internet Security 2006 on my pc and laptop, including the loss of internet connection on the pc. Obviously i'm online right now, but only thanks to hooking it up to the laptop. Now i realize what a mistake it was to install Norton, not only because of its other issues, and judging from the posts in this forum there are a lot of them, but also because (and i only found this out today) you SHOULD NOT register and install it on more than one of your pc. Even if the copy is legit. Thats why i ran into all these problems, so if you folks ever decide to install norton on your other computer dont, i've learned the hard way.
So, anyway, after I took my dads copy of norton and installed it on both pc and laptop, the internet connectionwas gone in about 15 min on the pc, on the laptop the program became corrupted after restart, the norton icon dissapeared from the desktop and i was unable to either run scans or get rid of it using add/remove programs. After spending a couple of hours online i finally found the norton removal tool and got rid of the dam thing.
However, I'm still unable to restore my net connection on the pc, i didnt have to deal with the corrupt norton and simply removed it using add/remove programs, but my the connection was not restored. I'm hoping to get some advice on how to get my connection back. I really dont want to format the hard drive and start from scrath. Any help would be appreciated\
