Hi Jonathan, I bought a new PC sometime back similar to you, xp norton firewall and virus and i had a problem with norton to start with. I found the solution was the built in windows firewall was also turned on. You can check this in the start->control panel->network connections->right click on isp connection->advanced tab ==> you will see the internet connection firewall. In my case it was on, turning it off fixed it and allowed norton to function correctly.
