Why is Norton Firewall blocking AOL from working on your computer?
This problem can mean many things, odds are the problem is with the operating system itself. I'm going to give you some instruction of some things I would do if I was working on this computer.
Questions you should consider:
Do you get any error messages? If so contact Microsoft with the error message.
Is you computer under warranty? If so, it's best to let a technician handle the problem. Note: Sometimes they will reformat or replace your hard drive. You could loose all data so it would be a good idea to backup first.
Re-pare Steps:
1) Restart Windows in Safe Mode. As you computer is restarting, hold down F8 and once the menu appears, select Safe Mode using the arrow key and selecting by pressing enter. Note: If windows does not boot in safe mode then seek help from a train technician, the problem may be too complex to go into decision in the message.
2) Consider a system restore. You will loose all data and changes you have made to your computer after the restore date. Open system restore by clicking on the start menu and selecting help and support. System restore should be one of the options assuming you have system restore turned on. (It's windows default so you should.) Select a restore date prior to the problem occurrence. Restore your PC. If you do not want to do a system restore then skip this step.
3) Update any and all ad-ware, spy-ware, and most importantly, anti-virus programs that are running on you computer.
4) Run a virus scan, then spy-ware scan, followed by ad-ware.
5) Your problem should be resolved by now. Restart your computer and see if it works, if not then restart in safe mode again (step 1).
6) If all else fells you can reformat your hard drive by reinstalling windows. You can do this by inserting the windows disk or system restore disk that came with your computer. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer. WARNING: This will wipe the hard drive of all data, it will be like you just got your computer. You will loose all software and everything.

What are features of virus protection?
Answer
Adequate anti-virus programs have a few basic features of protection. The first is to scan files located on your computer as you either open, close (or both) files. This feature is important because if you open a file that is infected but your av software detects it the infection can be resolved. The next feature focuses on the web. Basically this feature tries to make sure you do not go to a website that is known to be malicious. The next feature focuses on removable media. Removable media is anything device that is inserted into your computer such as a usb drive or a cd. Removable devices can be dangerous because people often travel and connect them to a number of computers. These computers may or may not be infected. This is why most AV programs give users the option to scan removable malware. Now you might be wondering what is the best AV software. To be honest "the best" is relative. What is good for me may not be good for you. However, I recommend you download Avast Free Antivirus. I've been using it for a few years and I do not have any complaints. Many other people are using Avast and they have stayed protected. Avast has detected a number of malware threats on my computers that other AV software programs missed. You can download at

How can you remove infected restore archive files if they are write-protected?
If you are referring to the System Restore feature in Windows ME/XP then this is how you can do it:
The easiest would be to simply disable System Restore, reboot, and then enable it again. This should remove the files.
Or you could do this manually:
1) Use a boot disk and boot to DOS.
2) Go to C:\System_Restore (I think this is the location)
3) Simply delete all the files in there. You don't want to leave any since all the files are dependent on each other, and deleting just some will leave a corrupted Restore set.
To do it automatically, go to the Control Panel. (Click on Start> Settings> Control Panel). Then navigate to System. When the window appears click on System Restore. Pick a drive and click Settings. Then simply navigate the amount of space to use to the minimum. Or of course you can turn of System Restore then reboot, then turn it back on, this should also remove the files.

Why is my computer slower after reinstalling my operating system to fix an issue with blue screens?
When rebooting, press F2. When in setup, scroll down to onboard devices click enter then down to flash cache module should say enabled turn that off then scroll up to sata operation and choose ATA then exit and save and try to reboot this worked for me. At worst case scenario, you can always change it back.
Another answer:
When you reinstall the operating system, you likely won't have all of the drivers. Microsoft supplies some default drivers to get the machine to work at all, but they likely won't recognize features specific to your machine. So you would need to make sure you have all the manufacturers' drivers installed. For instance, the default video driver will likely only give you limited colors and slow graphics, with only software support for DirectX, and no acceleration. So you'd need the video driver from the manufacturer to unlock its features and improve its performance. There are also motherboard or "platform" drivers, storage device drivers, etc., and they may need to be installed to improve performance.
Also, once you reinstall the OS, you will likely need to tweak it again. Windows enables a lot of options to improve appearance by default. So if you don't need animated dialog icons, font smoothing, mouse smoothing, and other things of that sort, you can disable them and increase the perception of speed.
