First of all, you should not be having this type of problem so early and you
should take advantage of your system's warranty and have either the
manufacturer or the store where you purchased this help you with the issue.
I'd suspect either an issue with a firewall or something that might have
been removed by Ad Aware or something done in Norton Systemworks.
As to System Restore, first, it doesn't always get along with Go Back.
Usually it does but some people have had issues running both. Second, more
often then not, when System Restore cannot restore, it usually means the its
file store is corrupted. The only way to resolve this is by turning off
System Restore and turning it back on. Note, this will wipe all restore
points up to this time but since they aren't working they are of no use to
you.
You can find the means of turning off System Restore under the System
Restore tab in System in Control Panel. Turn it off, reboot and turn it
back on. As to the other issues, I strongly recommend asking the store or
the manufacturer as the system is under warranty and you should not be
having this type of issue.
