How can I fix this Norton Anti-Virus problem?

I got my new laptop that came with the Norton 360 trial, I believe. One day I turned on my computer and it wouldn't turn on. I tried again a little later and it did turn on, but the Anti-Virus portion of Norton doesn't work, along with my Auto-Protect feature of my internet browser. Now Internet Explorer keeps having to close due to problems and I don't know what's wrong. Someone please help!

Uinstall norton. Use NOD32 or avast antivirus. Also, if I were you, I would prefer firefox to IE6 or 7.

shut it down, and if it doesnt help, then its not norton. also update your computer.



new computers are not perfect at first, you have to make it perfect
Your trial may be over. If not i would just reinstall the trial or buy it so you can get tech support from norton!

Simple question about Avast?

Avast is very confusing(consider the fact that i just downloaded it) and I'm not figuring out how to work it right. Could anyone give me a quick lesson on how to scan and keep it on auto-protect? A step-by-step walkthrough, starting right after the download, would be nice! Thanks!



Simple question about Avast?computer security



Best and Safest Way to scan with avast! would be to go to menu -%26gt; Schedule Boot-time Scan. Then Scan All Areas Of comp. You will have to restart. Then the computer will scan ur HD. Avast will remove anything harmful it finds on ur comp. From Adware to Viruses. Auto protect should be on 24/7 and should be already enabled.

Norton Antivirus Mac and Clam........?

I had Norton Antivirus 10.0 for Mac it worked fine until yesterday



when I tried to update it for the latest definitions it went awery and



wouldn't apply the latest updates I even re-installed the antivirus and it still didn't work :(



I uninstalled Norton and switched to clamx my question is how do I get clam to scan the entire computer at once instead of scanning only one specific folder at a time (major pain)



Also is there a way I could an enable auto protect feature like



Norton has?



Norton Antivirus Mac and Clam........?computer virus



Try Virus Scan for Mac. As for a Auto-protect feature, ClamZav has one called sentry. Just check the prefrences in ClamZav and there you go. But Virus Scan is indefinitely better.

Can someone help me ? new comp?

Can someone help me ? new comp?computer



first and best thing you can do is dump norton...it is a resource hog.



unfortunatley, you will need to pay for some type of virus detection, i recommend av bitdefender or trend pc cillen



too risky these days to run without



Can someone help me ? new comp?free spyware



Well personally i would degrade your computer back to winodws XP, Vista is very unreliable.



But about your problem on the norton auto protection, (was it FREE Wear?) If it was it would most likely that the experiry on it has gone, and that you should get the full version if you have got the full version then i would contact Norton, and see what they have to say, if you dont get throught to them i would suggest talking to Microsoft.



the webaddress is

I really hope this helps, all the best

AVG anti virus, Free and amazingly effective, Id also reccomend getting ad-aware and C-Cleaner. Dont install programs like Kazaa, Limewire, Imesh, Etc they are a HUGE part of what ruins the performance of new PC's.
I hate Norton. It isn't worth the money. When I bought my pc I totally removed it and bought PCTools anti virus and anti spyware. I also have spybot and adaware for all of the spyware stuff. I never liked McAfee, or Norton.



Also, check out Komando.com. That is a web site that will help you with your pc. It is run by this lady that is a computer whiz. She has a nation wide radio show on the weekends. Her site is free and she has all sorts of free down loads for virus and spyware removal, detection, etc.... I think you will like it.



I have been getting her daily computer tips, news letters, and cool sites for almost 5 years.
Go to start, control panel, add/remove programs, find norton and remove it. Restart your computer and your all set to go.
Norton has a new Internet Security for Vista. If yours is new, see if Norton will let you upgrade it.

My symantec system is stopping me from running spyware programs?

On my vista lap top my pc says that I need to run a virus scan through a website that it gives me and I start to run it but a little indow in the bottom right cornor says that symantec auto-protect has blocked the system. I cannot scan my computer now. Also I can't even find the symantec program on the computer, just a little window where I can choose off normal or enhanced and they dont do anything. please tell me how to fix this.... step by step if you can thanks!

Download the programs linked below. Install them. Update them. Scan your pc with them, and do so weekly.



If you have System Restore turned on, the Restore files may be infected, and trying to reinfect your pc. I turn off that feature, reboot to delete the files, then turn it on after a full system scan with AVG.



Turning off System Restore.



(right-click My Computer, Properties, System Restore tab, check the box to turn off System Restore on all drives.)



Restart your PC, and hold down the F8 key.



When you see the Boot Menu appear (black screen white letters), choose SAFE MODE.



Run a FULL SYSTEM SCAN with AVG.



You can heal or quarentine anything found.



You can also run Spybot and AdAware while in Safe Mode. I suggest you do a full system scan. Get rid of anything they find.

Should I switch from Norton???

I have Norton Anit-Virus 2006. It has been working fine.



I am going to reinstall my windows. So everything will be deleted.



I still have months left with Norton. With my new windows should I install Avast (free edition) with Zone alarm(firewall) or install Norton again???



Whats your opinion??



Norton is ok but two things 1%26gt; it takes a lot of your memory... 2%26gt; i had problem with truning the Auto-Protect on..



Should I switch from Norton???download



Try Avast



Should I switch from Norton???hijackthis



You can install Karpersky or NOD32 which are much better, i think it is even cheaper than Norton.. Avast is the best out there for free though
your choice
