Last night my comptuer promted me to update to Norton 2012 which had been set up to automatically upgrade when the time came. It downloaded, but I guess never fully installed. I have restarted my PC many times. I have tried the remove and restore tool several times, but got an error message from Norton. I've tried to install Norton from it's folder, but it tells me to restart my PC and the install would complete, which I have done many times as well. Never worked.
Firefox connects to the internet, but now IE, yahoo messenger, and skype will not connect. I have checked the IE settings and made sure they are set to automatic and not a proxy. I can only imagine these are somehow all linked. I've tried searching these forums and nothing has helped. So this is where I am now. If I just completely delete Norton and Symantec from my computer is there somewhere I can re-download this without having to pay again? (I have my key code.) So frustrating. I've never had a problem with Norton before and always felt very secure.
Thanks for your time and help.
