Just bought myself a new PC. All singing and all dancing but with one small problem.
The first thing I did was to set my virus software & firewall protection. Part of this process invovled performing a complete scan which revealed a sasser worm on the sys32 file. Norton was trying to deny access to this file and could not repair the file or quarentine it.
My guess was that I would need to update the virus database. I connected to the internet using Explorer and my home page came up fine. I downloaded latest database. Sure enough this cured the problem, the Norton pop up dissapeared and the file was repaired.
However ever since then I can not get any web page to come up on Explorer. I just get the standard 'Not found' page. I have checked my settings which is set to 128 bit security. There is a connection to the internet. The modem is showing me the transfer rate and I can download things like the virus database.
Probably very simple but I cant seem to find it.
Any ideas?
