Hello, I have experiencing a problem since i installed windows 8.1 on my pc. I had an eset smart security 7 subscription and used in in my new windows. When i installed eset my web was unsable. Chrome and explorer was crushing in 1 of 5 pages showing ''This webpage is not available, Error code: ERR_NAME_RESOLUTION_FAILED''. After that I uninstalled eset and putted avast free. While avast was in my pc, everything was going normal. Yesterday i purchased a norton internet security 2014. By the time norton got into my system, the same browser problem appeared. I also cannot connect to my online games ( if it manage connect i have unstable latency from 140 ms to 500ms again and again). When i uninstall norton, everything is normal.
I contacted to norton customer support, they connected to my pc and after trying for 3+ hours, they did not find a solution. now i am waiting a phone call from their supervisor(hopefully), before i ask for refund.
Things i tried in vain:

Checking firewall settings (all settings were OK)
Deactivated firewall and protection
reset browser settings (IE + Chrome)
Cleaned DNS cache
Reset DNS cache
Reinstall norton after FULL uninstallation (even reg keys)
Multiple router resets
Multiple system formats

NOTHING solved my problem, except uninstalling norton (and ESET before i get norton)
I am starting to think it is a Windows problem, there is no other logical solution.

My system:
Windows 8.1 PRO 64 bit (fully updated)
AMD A4-3400 APU Family 64-bit
4 GB RAM DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6450

Norton representatives told me that it is not a known issue. If someone has any idea what is happening i would appreciate it.
Thank you in advance.

Good Day to you sir.

I do not have an answer for your eset or norton issue as I had the same issue without any resolution and demanded my money back.

I can however say that I now use Avira free antivirus and my gaming has been smooth ever since. My friends use AVG with gaming mode and they too do not have any issues.

Hope you get your cash back bud.
