i downloaded that advanced system care program and i scan daily. i did get my issue fixed though. Pete was right..... it was the date on my laptop. somehow it got changed to August and I didn't noticed that the first time I looked. I wasn't able to access my gmail either and that was one of the first things the help page told me to check.... soooooo  thanks again Homer for all your help and patience as well !!!
Thanks Pete for your help as well. I guess I should have looked at that date alot closer.
Thanks Crazy_Man for the Nortons's tool and your help as well because I did have some more of that Nortons garbage on my laptop that the add/remove probram didn't take off. 
Thanks to all for your patience in helping me especially. I do try to fix things myself before asking, but sometimes my thought process just isn't there so its nice to know I can come here and receive help from all of you.  tumbsup.gif tumbsup.gif tumbsup.gif tumbsup.gif

Homer:  yes I removed it from the add/remove control panel. I didnt realize some things can still stay on your pc.

Crazy-Man:  thanks for the tool. I will go to the site and retrieve it and use it to see if that works.

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!  THANKS FOR THE HELP. I will let you know if it works.





sometimes it leaves traces in your system registry which can goof up your pc that is why I always recommend people use the Advanced System Care program regularly

you need to go to Norton site and get their remover tool as Norton can't be completely uninstalled otherwise.

Here is a link to go to to download it or you can search for Norton Remover Tool.

ok i changed the view and turned it off and it still wont connect. I get the same error as before. would nortons have anything to do with this ??

I suppose there still could be traces of it on your pc. Did you remove it using add/remove programs from the control panel?

it is not a tab it is a category in the control panel

Homer i apologize but I am really trying hard to do as you and Pete have stated but when I go to control panel, I don't see a "windows firewall" tab anywhere. I have windows XP if that helps. Again I do apologize for the confusion. My comprehension level isn't like it use to be due to a severe head injury so I struggle at times finding things. thanks for understanding.

thanks for the help...but.... the box for server certificate revocation was already unchecked. ... I don't have any other firewall on my laptop that I am aware of. I deleted nortons this morning. I checked my control panel and its not in the list of programs either. Is there another firewall somewhere that my laptop has that I am not aware of??
