I originaly posted my problem in the Windows XP section and they directed me here first. Here's the original thread.



I read the page on what to do before posting a hijackthis log and did what I could.

Ran ATF cleaner.

Created new and eraced previous system restore points.

Installed AVG Anti-Spyware, but it has the same problem and cannot connect to the internet to update the definitions file,. So I didn't bother running it b/c I figured it wouldn't find anything.

Installed Super Anti-Spyware. When it asked to update the definitions, I said yes, but it didn't seem like it did anything. Told it to check for updates again and it said they were up to date. Ran the full system scan and it didn't find anything.

Tried to do the Online Panda Activescan, but when the box comes up to download the active x controll, the web page freezes. Tried it more than once, restarted the computer, tried again, never worked. Not sure why its not working. I never have any internet problems other than the one stated above.

Installed the latest windows updates.

Installed and ran Hijackthis. Heres my logs:

Everything stated above was done with everything checked in the startup tab of msconfig. Useually I only have 2 things checked in startup. I'm not sure if you wanted everything in services set back to how it was before I changed it. I was already having this problem before I changed any of those anyways. I do have screen shots saved of the services how they were originally set and how they are now if you needed to see that or if you need me to change them back.

I figured the problem out. I use to have some type of Norton internet security on the computer and I just disabeled it without uninstalling it. I stopped all the startup files and services related to it, but I guess part of it was still running.

I enabeled all the startup files and all the windows services. Then after restarting the computer and opening one of the prgrams that originally wouldn't work, a box from Norton opened and said that the program was trying to access the internet and if I wanted to give it access. I said yes and everything is working again.

So I guess the problem is that if you stop norton anti virus from running without uninstalling, it is still stopping all new programs that are downloaded from accessing the internet untill it gives them access.

You can disable norton anti virus and everything will work as long as you enable it when you first download a program that needs the internet. Once norton gives the program access to the internet, that program will always be able to access the internet untill you download a new version. You do not have to keep norton running.

When searching for an answer to my problem, I found that a lot of pepole online had the same problem and were asking how to fix it, but got no response. Hopefully this will help some people will this problem in the future.

Check to make sure the anti virus program is running under the startup tab in msconfig.
Also, if you diabeled the anti virus in the services section, that will have to be enabeled also. Before changing the services make sure to make a new restore point incase you change something that effects how the computer runs and you dont remember what you changed. You can "tweak" the services section to make your computer startup and shutdown quicker, but be carefull with what you change. If you don't know what it is, look it up online first and see what it's for.

The services can be accessed through: control panel, administrative tools, services. Or go to run and type services.msc

My problem is solved and this thread can be locked.
