Uninstall your Symantec's Norton software and enable the Windows Firewall
instead. Search for a simple AV scanner, like NOD32, Avast, AVGFree, Aviras
Antivir and the like. Yes, I mean that exactly as it reads. And yes, this
will boost your system's perfomance anyway without the lack of any security.

Most likely, based on your infos.

Most likely, yes. Enable Windows Firewall after having Symantec's bloat
uninstalled.

Hi Tomas,
I'm no expert or pro but I found that alot of my microsoft services had been
disabled by alowing someone else to change the settings on my computer,
I'm still not sure I have the ones I need running automaticaly but I did find
the version I am running by clicking start,run,then microsoftcs in the blank
then enter, then it showed me all the services that are available anyway, then
some of them that had been set to disabled, I reset to automatic instead of
manual or disabled. Again I can not be possitive that this is all you would
need
to do as I'm still figuring things out myself, but I hope it was helpful
anyway.
