Having issues establishing connections. I managed to download the blockchain, but after setting up encryption and restarting the wallet (windows, btw), I'm getting "out of sync" with no bar listing how many blocks behind (just the red text near "Wallet" and "Recent transactions").

I tried adding the nodes from the first page as well as the huge list a few pages back. It didn't seem to work through Ember.conf (assuming I'm setting it up right) and so I entered them (painstakingly) one at a time via the debug window. Occasionally I'll get a connection-sometimes up to 3 or 4-for a few minutes, but the problem persists. On top of not being able to stake, I recently transferred a good deal more EMB to my wallet that I can't access until it syncs.

Lastly, the wallet doesn't seem to want to close properly, I need to shut it down through task manager. Kaspersky identified it as a virus, I added it to exclusions, but I'm wondering if maybe this could be affecting something?

Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated.
