Cant get incomming connections with any p2p

[erfb0und]

For about 2 months I haven't been able to get any incomming connections when using utorrent or limewire. Also when trying to connect to my university website, it says I need to open ports 80, 443, and 8443 to log in to their server. I never messed with my computer or router settings and it seems like overnight that I went from no problems to not being able to connect to anybody. Ive tried just about everything I could come across online from port fowarding through my router, opening ports through windows firewall, and messing with some stuff in services.msc. I currently have DMZmode turned on for this computer through my router which supposedly opens all ports but still nothing. I had this problem also whenever I use this computer (laptop) at other internet connections (family/friends houses) so I'm guessing it might be an OS problem rather than a router connection problem. I can download stuff online through websites just fine but from other people is a no go. Im lost as to what to do now and would really appreciate any help I can get.

OS is Vista

Thanks for the reply. How would I go about removing the infections? Rather, what program would you recommend to use to remove them. Also, what should I do about the norton problem? I belive I deleted norton a while back but should is there a certain way I should go about deleting any symantec files or do I just delete any folders containing them? Thanks again

[Switeck]

I think Symantec/Norton makes uninstaller tools for their products...kinda shows you how bad their products are that the uninstallers with them aren't complete.

People around here mention AVG for antivirus alot.

I use SpyBot Seek and Destroy (now v1.6).

You could even stop/close the probable baddies using Process Explorer if they don't have good/many auto-restart mechanisms.

Honestly, I'd reinstall Windows at this point to clean up your install. Removing a ton of malware tends to leave the system in a half-broken state afterwards.
