btw....
Forgot to mention.. I dont use AOL, I have a local ISP (hence the title of my post).
Anyway even though I removed Norton's entirely from my PC, my network card was hijacked by something Norton's did. I could not for the life of me figure out what it did to it. That is why I had to then do a system restore in order to get the internet back.

It's not just AOL users getting bumped
It was time for me to upgrade my Norton's Antivirus so last week I purchased it from a local store (I will not do the automatic renewals online or download from online).
I installed it and everything was fine until I ran the first virus scan and it locked me out of the internet. Uninstalling Norton's Antivirus did not help I had to actually go back to a restore point.
After going thru this twice in an attempt to get it to work, I gave up and bought McAfee Antivirus just last night and now I am good to go with no problems.
To bad I did not hear of this problem with Norton's until today, would have saved me $35.00.
