You may have sucked in a virus.
In my experience, one of the first things certain virii do is disable the live update.

Try going HERE and do a scan online.

I have the same problem. I just got my computer, I got the nForce4-4x which came with NIS. The frist time I installed live update worked, but I turned on Windows Firewall at the same time and my computer kept freezing so I had to uninstall it, and I installed it agian and Live update does not work. Also it doesnt let my web browser Firefox and IE surf. Anyone know whats the problem??

EDIT: I tried that site from above post, it said I didnt have any viruses. Is it safe to install there stuff when you frist go there because I did

Is it the graphics card or the Moniter??

Symantec made some sort of change recently and it has broken a number of people's systems. You say you reinstalled it. Did you uninstall it first? The couple of system I've dealt, with needed to have live update completely removed first, before the reinstall.
