I installed SP2 on a friend's computer and now it has become impossible to browse the internet.

Previously he was just running Norton Internet Security and everything was fine; after installing SP2 we disabled Windows Firewall to prevent conflicts but using either IE or Opera browsing has become a nightmare proposition. If we are lucky one or two pages will load and then the internet connection dies.

As a diagnostic test I treied just Windows Firewall and the same happens, and with no firewall at all the same happens which leads me to think it is an SP2 issue. It also manifests itself whether using a wireless broadband connection or a dial-up one.

Is there fix or will we have to uninstall SP2.
 
unistall norton internet security and use only any good antivirus program MCafee is good, and the winndows firewall.
restart and try.
