I was trying to help a friend of mine setup a new computer with Windows 7 on it and everything was working great except certain sites wouldn't work. A connection error and a button saying "Diagnose Connection" would appear on sites that worked fine when accessed from a different computer. At the same time some sites would work fine but others would not. We had a trial of Norton Antivirus running by default. After struggling with the problem my friend took the computer back to Best Buy where it was purchased. There he was told by a technician that he had seen this problem many times and to solve it he uninstalls Norton and installs some other antivirus solution instead. This is what was done and sure enough the problem went away! This led me to believe maybe there was some inherent compatibility issue between Windows 7 and Norton. I visited the symantec site here and saw this...
