Those instructions were to disable all items in startup menu leaving only Norton products loading at boot up.I followed a link from there which let me do an online virus check, which came up clear, and the rest of the instructions they gave me were very unclear (I'm not that great with computers)
The problem might be an easy fix....If not it's possible you'll need the Norton removal tool to uninstall and ensure a non corrupt reinstall.
read over the links below that suggest how to reset firewall rules.

Ensure you read How To Get Help
I can give you links to free Antivirus and Firewall programs which are used by a very many.
What you'll probably have to do is experiment some what to find one that runs well on your machine.
Avira
Here is a tutorial on it's setup and use:

Avast!

AVG Free ,

This is a very useful read:

Never install more than one antivirus scanner or firewall on your system
Free Antivirus With Resident Protection and other related resources.
http://users.telenet.....irus Scanners
If installing a Firewall please disable WIndows XP Firewall.
To disable Windows Firewall, follow these steps:
1. Click Start.
2. Click Run.
3. Type Firewall.cpl, and then click OK.
4. On the General tab, click Off (not recommended).
5. Click OK.
********************
The following FREE Firewall versions are:
Zone Alarm free:
http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/cat...ry=US〈=en
PDF documention for Zone Alarm available here:
http://www.zonealarm...a/znalmMain.jsp
If you are going to try Zone Alarm I suggest to just install the basic firewall so the bundled trial Antivirus does not get installed, Also I recommend NOT installing the new optional feature Spy Blocker, as it's run by the questionable search engine Ask.com. You can read more about Ask.com http://www.benedelma...kjeeves-banner/
Comodo free:
http://www.personalf...all.comodo.com/
If you want only the Firewall, you can de-select Install Comodo AntiVirus during the installation process.

Comodo (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage")
Sunbelt kerio:

PDF documentation for Sunbelt Kerio available here:

Online Armor Free
http://www.tallemu.c...n-software.html
Jetico free:
http://www.jetico.co.../jpfirewall.htm
Note: You must only use 1 (one) Firewall at a time because if you have 2 or more Firewalls running at the same time, they will conflict with each other and make your security less reliable.
The above are known good free Firewalls available for personal use. If one conflicts with your system, try another.
