Any help,but today some software could not get on to the internet,notibly-Avira anti-virus and Spybot Search and Destroy.
I was trying to install both,and both unable to connect,the firewall is seeing them trying to connect,and I am allowing them.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Sounds like an icompatible software package. Try uninstalling both the firewall and spybot search and destroy and then reinstall them in compatibility mode of vista. I have found several instances where those software say they install correctly and dont.

Tried-

Tried dis-connect,and re-connect still no joy.
Just had no trouble installing Avast A/V,with no problems,and installed P C Tools firewall,also no trouble to connect.
All a bit confusing?
