Norton and metro apps

I recently upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8. Everything was working great until i installed Norton 360. Now my metro apps(store, weather, news, etc...) won't connect to the internet. I can still connect to the internet on my desktop and my ethernet connection seems just fine. I gone as far as reinstalling windows 8  three times and again it works great until I install Norton 360 then the app stop working. I've tried disabling the firewall, but once the apps stop working, their done until i use the  refresh(install windows8) command. I've been to every forum I could find to get help... but no one has an answer that works and I've tried dozens of them.

 

Any ideas?

 

I've been playing this game for weeks now and I'm just tire....

Did you install Win 8 or 8.1? 8.1 is still in Beta and will not be supported by Norton until it is officially released.

 

What version of 360 are you using? Support - About

Just as a side note.... even when i disable norton firewall, windows 8 still says norton is in control of the firewall.


Hi bunky42,

 

I am not sure Win 8 is the sme as Win 7 in regards to the Windows Firewall however this  link  may provide an answer for you.  My line of thought being, in order to be able to enable Windows Firewall you must remove Norton - just disabling the Smart Firewall will not ermit you to enable (nor automatically enable) the windows Firewall0.  My guess the reason bveing NortonTamper Protection is still in effect even thought the firewall is disabled.

 

Just a thought on my part.
