I have 5 PCs on network.

1 got a worm, I removed it from network, cleaned and fixed it. Uninstalled Norton, installed Bitdefender which I prefer.

When I put the pc back on the network, it does not want to pick up any network computers? Sometimes it even gives me error "Contact your administrator insufficient privilages blah blah something.

Any help?

Can it be my firewall? If so, does anyone know how to configure in Bitdefender? I have tried bitdefender forums and official website, but could not find any help. Thanx.

Solution:

I went into Bitdefender, just disabled the firewall, and all connections working.

BUT when I did that, all the worms and viruses streamed through from the other 5 PCs!!! It shows Bitdefender has detected this virus and your computer has NOT been infected, but when I did a scan afterwards, Bitdefender picked up some viruses on this PC!? Why???
