Computer Browser (Network Browsing not working)

After uninstalling Norton Internet Security 2006 from my machine, I was unable to view my Shared drives on my Local Network (Network Browsing was not working).

After looking and comparing the running Services I found that Computer Browser was missing. I tried a few solutions I found on the Internet. One person did recommend that Client for Microsoft Networks was missing.

So what I did was uninstalled Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks and re-installed them again after the reboot. This can be found from Local Area Connection -> Properties -> (Install-Client,Service)

You can guess, it worked!! Now why this happened after the removal of Norton I have no idea.
