I was having the same problem and I was able to fix my problem by using the http://www.symantec.com/nrt.

It removed everything fron norton. I did not reinstall since this was the problem all along.

I was able to install my updates and now I am able to download. Whooo Hooooo!!!!

Same problem… can’t down load anything, some sites will not let me upload either. If i try i get either an error message ‘can’t connect to the server or the site is down’ – or simply nothing happens.
Have the advisors from this site got nothing to say or do about this? It seems that this virus/problem appeared over a year ago now and still no answers?
Hoping for a solution.

I’m stressed totally to the max. For over 2 weeks, I’ve been dealing with the same issues. I can’t install or download any fixes. I called microsoft support and they suggested that it was as old norton antivirus. We checked my system and it was there. I could not install the removal tool, so I had a friend put it on a disk and I downloaded it that way. Still didn’t work. I still can’t download or install anything or watch any video clips. But they did say it was fixing alot of other computers. So here is the address to get the download. Maybe it will help someone. http://www.symantec.com/nrt

I can no longer download anything on my computer and this happened IMMEDIATELY after i downloaded the new aim. Now the new aim will not connect, my msn (old) will not connect, and i am not able to download a blessed thing.
Have done multiple virus scans, have checked both the router and firewall settings, as well as my IE and Chrome settings. Everything appears to be in order, except that i still cant use aim/msn or download!
I have also tried to remove aim from my computer, and that has not worked.
My computer was going out and downloading just fine before i downloaded the new aim. Please tell me someone can help me!!!

I seem to be having trouble downloading required things like microsoft .net fireworks 3.5. It keeps saying error. I dont know what to do because I need that and a few other things to even download things like windows messenger and so on so forth.

Well I have now reset again to default the following and things appear to be working again

To begin, load Internet Explorer. Click Tools->Internet Options->Security once on that page, you’ll need to go through each of the options Internet, Local Intranet, Trusted sites, and Restricted sites and reset them to Default. If you have loads of trusted sites shown you can skip re setting this to default.
