Programs cannot connect to internet after program auto-update inVista Home

[twinklyblue]

Hi guys,

I have been searching a solution to this problem for almost 1 month
now and nothing has solved it based from the suggestions that I saw
from other forums. To explain further my problem:..

I have 3 programs which performed auto-update and after this update,
none of them can connect to the internet anymore. My pc still can
connect to the internet except these 3 programs (utorrent, firefox,
AIM). I tried reseting tcp/ip settings (based on a forum i read from
utorrent) and resetting also my winsock configuration. Still none of
these programs performed successful connection. I also tried
connecting to other ISP so I know this is not the problem.

I have avast antivirus, windows defender, and windows firewall running
on the background (I had nortor before as a trial program but i am not
using it anymore..). I also tried disabling these 3 programs then
running the problematic programs but still problem occurs. Please, if
anyone can provide suggestion on which to check, I would be very happy
to accept them. My pc might end up as a trash if all of them auto-
update and I cant use anyone of them anymore..

Hi
After update you probably need to renew the exception permission through the
Firewall.
Also make sure that Norton is Uninstalled and out of the system if you do
not use it anymore.

You have answered your own question!
1, Norton internet security: check exceptions in ITS firewall (you only use
one firewall, lol)
2. YOU installed DivX knowing it had problems, lol.

We don't know what you problem is, as you have not included prior posts,
explaining the problem
This is a Newsgroup, and you should have continued with the original thread,
or started again explainging things!
