This is the continuing saga with my win7 pro software issue on a 64 bit laptop. The thing constantly is looking out and in using port 1900 and a couple others. Symantec is blocking all the traffic in and out as it should. Have three other computers using wifi and none of them are doing this.

Found something new show up today. Selected "Devices and Printers" to see what it shows. It starts searching and never stops searching, all other computers takes only a couple seconds and they are displaying, computer, printer, mouse, etc.

Went into safe mode and can not see any printers but can see the laptop and one of my routers. The router should not be part of the laptop. Tried to delete it in safe mode but no good.

The slowness could be a problem with the OS but seeing the router is normal. I can even see my blu-ray players.

Networking was off along with wifi, as before it was in safe mode. The thing never came back and listed anything and I let it run for about 4 hours
