that STUPID problem is BACK !! nothing is opening properly... I barely open this site after clicking refresh 100 times !!
Almost 100% that it is something left behind from Norton - I read the thread title and then saw the word "Norton" and laughed Norton IS the virus Check device manager hidden files for any Norton firewall drivers Check Network adapter for norton protocols Check Services.msc for any Norton services
but I removed norton completely using their own removal tool. the problem is still there without norton !!
Yes...after removing norton, I checked many times if any norton service is running but ... there was nothing... I use firefox mainly ... but when this problem starts happening, IE, Chrome gives me same trouble. using the same DNS address. pictures of any site are not opening...they r white blank space in place of pictures !!
Try ccleaner to clean all unused files and registry keys. Uninstall FF. Reboot. Reinstall FF just for testing.
when you uninstall FF the profile remains on the machine. If FF is the problem, profile must be deleted as well and then newly installed. Best is to safe profile to a secure place and then try reinstalling
I tried CCleaner too... no help. I can uninstall FF now but If I reboot now, problem will be gone...so I dont want to reboot right now.. I want to know why the hell this is happening !!
Open command Prompt and type: flushdns (Hit enter) Try again, if still not working type: netsh (Hit enter) winsock (Hit enter) reset (Hit enter > reboot)
pinging working on any site..even can download at full speed... anyone is welcome to come to my pc through team viewer.. I really annoyed by this stupid problem.
