i'm having some problems .... i've run antiVir, ad-aware, hijack this and spyware search and destroy HOWEVER i havn't posted my hijack list. and antivir found a number of viruses which have been deleted. now ONE of the problems i've been having is that my norton antivirus will no longer work second any java or activeX programs on the internet will not load. i cannot add any new hardware drivers such as a digital camera and at startup no programs will run for about 5 minutes. anyhelp will be greatly appreciated.listoparacristo ......Well first off.......which operating system are you using ?

Which version of Norton are you using .......and more important ....one of the viruses may have disabled it ....are you sure it's enabled ......... ?

Is Nortons subscription and updates current ?

Have you checked to see if "Java" is STILL loaded ?

let US know

dl65 i'm running windows XP... norton is the 2003 antivirus... and it's disabled and no java is not running either.listoparacristo.......... Is Nortons subscription and updates current ? or has it expired ?
You say its disabled ....cant you turn it back on ?

Have you tried to uninstall Java and then D/L it and installing it again ?

Let us know

dl65 If you can no longer install drivers, I suggest you reformat and take precautionary measures before or directly after connecting to the Internet.listoparacristo....Could you please explain what you mean by ......
"and at startup no programs will run for about 5 minutes."

are you saying that after this time lapse everything is ok ?

let us know

dl65 no cannot start norton and yes it was up to date before it went down.... but i cannot up date it or start it anymore.... there is a lag period at start up where i cannot open any programs ie. explorer, Word. after that i can get programs to open but java and ActiveX still do not run.listoparacristo...... How about posting your hijackthis log ...it may hold the key to whats going on with your pc ....
