Three problems going on with my computer, not sure how many (if any) are related to Symantec product.
Computer Information:
I have a Dell Studio XPS laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64-bit Operating System. I have a wireless connection to my router, which is a Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router model WNDR3700. I recently had to install Symantec Endpoint Protection version 11.0.6200.754.
I didn’t notice these problems until after installing Symantec, but I share the computer occasionally so not sure if something else may be going on.
Problem #1
Every few minutes, if not several times a minute, I get a popup message “Symantec Endpoint Protection Traffic has been blocked from this application: Host Process for Windows Services (svchost.exe).”
Sometimes I’m in the other room listening to this sucker ping like Morse-code.
Things I’ve Tried: (1) ran Spy-Bot S&D, (2) booted in safe-mode and ran Malewarebyte Anti-Malware, (3) tried to change a firewall setting by unchecking “Block Ipv6 (Ethernet type 0x86dd).
Problem #2
When browsing the web I frequently get DNS service not available. This does not seem to be isolated with one website. Oddly enough, I can be using one open browser while another fails, e.g., I can be watching Netflix without any problems, but other open browsers start getting the DNS error.
Things I’ve tried: (1) repeatedly dried cmd ipconfig /flushdns, (2) changed settings to use 208.67.222.222 and/or 208/67/220/220 as Preferred DNS address, (3) reboot computer, (4) power off and on modem / router.
Problem #3
Cannot use readyshare to connect to an external USB drive connected to my router. I get a message that Windows cannot access \\readyshare\USB_Storage, Error code 0x80070035, The network path was not found.
Tried: contacted Netgear. Their service seems lacking.
So, I’m pretty much a beginner in all of this and very well could have missed some troubleshooting step in the things I’ve tried to fix these problems.
