The help says that with AOL I may have to configure. I have wireless Cable through a router and have no idea how to configure. The directions with norton is very vague. Could it be a firewall? I just don't understand what is going on.

I used to have Peoplepc and never had any problems. however, they do not support high speed internet.

I'm guessing that you are using a proxy server which prevents you from downloading updates to Norton AV via their live update. But, this is only a guess. Usually, in situations like these, you have to rummage through AOL and/ or Norton knowledge base forum to look for the fix. You can sometimes find the answer at their FAQ sites.
As a temporary solution, you can manually download and install Norton AV updates at Majorgeeks.com (http://www.majorgeeks.com/). The latest update is for July 9, the download link is: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Norton_Virus_Definitions_d3995.html

First of all, I refuse to use Norton. I had it when I got my first computer and it sucked.
Second of all, I will not ever use AOL. Everyone I have talked to has had problems with AOL. I personally use People PC. Been using them for quite a while, hardly ever have any problems logging on, customer service is really great in my opinion.

Get rid of Norton and install AVG and Ad-Aware and use the removal tool when you need it. (they are all free and are much better than Norton or McAfee:

Hi, you can try firefox browser.
firefox can fix the homepage hijacked.
it can block any annoying popup ads. it can prevent most of the virus in the webpage, as you know, most of the virus is spread through internet.
Download firefox for free:
