Re: installing anti norton

In my opinion, you don't. Norton products are next to useless and I
certainly wouldn't put any Norton product on my machine. They cause more
problems than they cure!

If you want an anti virus application use Avast anti virus (the free
version). Vista has its own firewall and spyware is covered by Windows
defender which is also already on Vista.

Does Norton offer support? I don't use the stuff myself. I use Grisoft's AVG
except on my business machine where I use ClamWin.

[Grisoft - free for personal use and popular]

[ClamWin - free even for businesses]
http://www.clamwin.com

[Avast! - free for personal use and popular - requires yearly entry of a
product key they email to you]

Re: installing anti norton

To get rid of this, I un-installed Norton and then installed AVG.

Re: installing anti norton

Interesting. All your replies were "anti Norton". Now what does that
say about "anti Norton Internet Security"?

Hope this helps.

Re: installing anti norton

I have to agree with the other posters.
I haven't allowed a Norton product near my machines since W98.
It is my opinion that Norton is a case of the cure being worse than the
disease.
Doctor, I have an ingrown toe-nail...
We must amputate at the hip immediately...and I am taking your right hand
and left thumb as a precaution...
If you got it installed, uninstall it.
If not, quit trying to put it on & use AVG, ClamWin or Avast from the
supplied links.

What is this program?

Norton Internet Security 2007 installs and runs well under VISTA and
there's an AntirSpam addon that you can download for free from the
Norton website.

Despite other opinions, which they are entitled to, I like and trust
Norton and 2007 is much less of a resource hog than previous versions.

Re: installing anti norton

At least you can TOTALLY remove a virus from a computer.
You can not do that with Norton; Symantec likes to keep a hand in your wallet!
