I have been using Norton for years now with very little trouble until now. I recently upgraded my dinosaur pc with an Asus M4N68T-M (AM3) motherboard and reinstalled it, as i had around 300 days of subscription left. This has caused a hell of a lot of problems with my internet connection. From the moment i installed it, i was getting Content Encoding Errors on websites, pages not loading fully, scrambled pictures, etc. I thought it may be my ISP but that side of things is fine. I thought it may be the Nvidia Nforce chipset of the board, so i bought a pci ethernet card. It made no difference. I noticed then that if i left Norton uninstalled, the faults never happened. I reinstalled, the problem came back, uninstalled again and it vanished again. Is this a common problem? And if so, is there a workaround? I really like Norton but ifthis is a thing i'll have to put up with, i'll need to use another antivirus.
Here's a spec of my machine.
