I am working on a computer running windows 7 just installed norton 360. The problem I am having is when you open internet explorer 8 it is putting http: in the address bar twice so it won't allow the homepage to display. I checked Internet options to be sure it was entered correctly in there and it is. The computer has just been restored back to factory settings and norton 360 added. I am going to go over tomorrow and uninstal nortons and see if it stops or if it is a ie8 problem. I made sure the auto complete was turned off to be sure it wasn't what was triggering it. You can go to any other website and it is fine it only does when you open ie8 to the homepage. I tried changing which homepage they were using but no go. The homepage is set to Google. Just wondered if anyone had seen this problem for and could save me some headache.
Re: I am working on a computer running windows 7 just...
With IE8 open, Go to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced Tab...at the bottom click the Reset button to restore IE to its original default settings. Should work.

My suggestion to remove both McAfee and Norton, they slow down the PC to a crawl. Also they bring all sorts of toolbars and unwantedness.
The free and light use antivirus is the one built into Windows, or if you are rocking Windows 7, Microsoft security essentials. Another one would be malwarebytes as a second layer of defense.
Download (as in Save, not Run) the Norton Unistaller http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039 Then go here http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/kbload.jsp?docurl=step_2007102605434976&selected_nav=1&pvid= and follow the instructions with some additional steps: Step 2.1 once you have the Uninstaller, the new installer and the key on your pc disconnect it from the internet. Step 2.2 run the Uninstaller and accept everything it does. Step 2.3 do yet another reboot and run a sistem cleaner like CCleaner and the Disk Defragmenter Now do the Step 3 run the installer.
Norton is known to cause such issues. Remove Norton, use Avira AntiVir as your antivirus and Windows Firewall as your firewall. Download the latest Internet Explorer here.
hi,
when you open the trouble shooting icon that gives the exact message.
1. remove the traces of IE 8 if there are any.( start - run - IE8 - spuninst - double click on windows service pack uninstall.this is not applicabe for vista)
2. uninstall the security software completly. if its norton use the following link : www.symantec.com/nrt. it it's mcafee us this link: www.mcpr.notlong.com .
3. then install IE8. later install the security software back in the computer.
you have to goto win setting. in fire wall disable win, then dis able norton run explore prefer update version. allow win fire wall then tell norton to unblocked win comm file and sys or vice vera leave explore app open then let norton scan while explore is open. dont fret this is a norton issue nit winn. but if you have norton on any vista then its not compatiable nor recommended. hoe this helps. Relative images
what is the only thing that you have to do is just go head clear the temporary internet files and temporary files and run the disk cleanup
after that please go ahead and run the liveupdate it will get the patch file from the symantec server
I tried that, thanks for the suggestion though
