i installed norton personal firewall, but i get this message afterwards: symantec- settings alert some symantec product settings have been changed by an unauthorized program. this can indicate that an attacker or a virus is attempting to disable your protection. to avoid problems, settings will be reverted to the previous configuration and your system will be restarted. click ok to continue. now after i click ok...it says that settings coudnt be reverted...and i cant manually change any settings for the firewall...it also wont allow me to get online...is my computer hosed...what can i do?

Good luck
