Conficker test

I agree, some viruses disable the internet connection or in details access to some antivirus vendor.  Just for a test, if internet works, try to open Conficker test from The H and heise Security.
On this site you can perform a quick test for Conficker virus, see description Test pages on Conficker information site 

Hope that it helps.

HI Subhi

HI Subhi,
Did you try this...
http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/DownloadInstruc...
  
OR

If you are not able to download NSS from ftp you can download it from https://fileshare.symantec.com. But you have to contact symantec tech support and ask for a temporary user name and password....
