sorry for the new posts, but i'm given the option to edit... anyway, everything seems to be good finally. What I did: used norton remover to, uh, remove norton. this seemed to free up our internet but the wireless printer was not only not working, but not online. removed spybot (had...

i believe it's solved! I downloaded the norton removal program onto another computer and uploaded it here, ran it, and the programs that were not updating are all now doing so, and the pages thta weren't opening are. It is still not printing however, and I'm not sure if that is a separate...

Interestingly enough, connecting via lan with the wireless disabled gets me the same results. the scannow results were "no integrity violations." I rebooted in safe mode and ran malware with the same results -- no problems. I tried a few different spywares but they all required updating right...

possible cause? So i've spent almost all day trying to figure this out, and i think i may have finally found something... In the WirelessNetwork Connection window, it has the IPv4 Connectivity as Internet, but the IPv6 Connectivity says 'no network access.' honestly, i don't even know what...

more info thanks so so much for your responses, guys. to clarify, the printer is new, the computer was purchased used. I uninstalled avg, and installed the microsoft security essentials which found no problems. (these with appropriate rebootings) I tried to install spybot (the only...

Having wireless connection issues -- please help! i've searched and not found any solutions (doesn't mean they're not there, I just spent 2 hours browsing and trying different things with no luck). The problem is I cannot seem to update the two programs i've installed -- avg and itunes. it...

anyone? Does anyone have any suggestions/thoughts??? tia!

Super noob here... I know cars but not much about computers, and next-to-no exposure to win 7, so please bear with! Bought a Toshiba a505 used, a few months old, from a lady who knows less than I about computers. Her boss, a "computer expert," messed with it, putting things like norton and...
