I've uninstalled McAfee,, windows has checked connectivity and says problem with firewall settings. It says check settings for the http port 80, https port 443 and ftp port 21 what do I do?

Try the following:

Close any Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer windows that are currently open.

Open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Internet Explorer.

Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.

Click the Advanced tab, and then click Reset.

In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, click Reset.

When Internet Explorer finishes applying default settings, click Close, click OK, and then click OK again.

Check that you don't have Proxy Server enabled. Go to Control Panel then Internet Options and select the Connections tab.
Click the LAN Settings button and make sure the option to use a Proxy Server isn't ticked.

Sorry can't type fast enough, just saw espresso's post, follow that one.

Hi RIk, I've installed Norton and done reboot, tried hijacking, loaded up page but the only download I can see says free update checker and scan for software updates. Am I missing something.
