    After installing Norton Security,every time I reboot my wireless gets disabled,I have to manually go into properties and repair it,my machine gets assigned new IP and connects to wireless network every time I turn on my laptop.Why is this happening?Any clues?
    thanks

    I took Norton away and installed a different anti-virus,seems to be working ok for the time being.However,my boot time has gone up,I tried to configure systerm start up and unchecked a few things,boot time is still over 1 minute,a minute and 15 seconds.It used to be less than a minute,around 50 seconds.Is this normal?
    Hence,I have windows XP.

    I am using McAfee Security Center,but continuing to have the same problem.I am thinking maybe it's not even because of av.I removed thinkvantage access connections,maybe that was making it.Any other ideas?
