Ok so about 2% of what webpages I try to load actualy do load.. the computer was bought yesterday. I'm pretty sure Norton has nothing to do with it.. I have tried Firefox, IE, and Netscape and all load the same pages this is about the 50th help site I have tried and the only one which has loaded.. help?

What firewall are you running? Even though the computer is new, I'd go ahead and download Spybot Search & Destroy and maybe Ad-aware, install them and scan your system. Never know what all's loaded on a new system. I think I'd also download CCleaner (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4191).

Are you sure you are virus/spyware free? If not, have a read:

If that doesn't get it, consider uninstalling Norton, at least until this is resolved.
