My subscription with Norton Anti-virus ran out a couple of months ago. I've tried downloading the free software off the Internet to protect my notebook, and everytime I'm nearly finished there's a malfunction.

If you are looking for a free antivirus application, there are three good programs - AVG, AVAST, and AntiVir - that you can download. A fourth program, Bitdefender, also has a free version, but it does not provide a realtime background scanner, only an on-demand scanner.

Hello,\n     Well the first thing u need to do is get a Internet Security package from Bestbuy, Circuit City, ect..  Norton Internet Security 2007 is very good and does not use a lot of system resources.  What this product offers is a complete firewall, antivirus and spam features.  There is a ad and popup blocker seperate to download from Symantec.com  Once u run the installation program it will ask you to do a quick scan to see if there is anything that is going to interfer with the installation.  I have a Dell inspiron 1100 and I have a 40Gig Hard drive with 768MB of Ram.  I use Norton Internet Security 2007 and I have no problems with my system.  If you have any other questions, u can email me or write back on here and help u out.  Barry_Woodward1976@yahoo.com

There are many decent anti-virus programs available. Norton's is one of the best, as it's both thorough and economical and doesn't use up a lot of memory; however, the problem where memory is concerned is that the best programs require the most memory. I was using Nortons awhile back and still got a virus, so I spent about $300.00 on a very extensive program called Tech on Demand. Unfortunately, it requires a lot of memory to run because of the many functions of the program. The amount of memory is pretty much proportional to the amount of protection you're looking for.

the best thing to do is firstly,- uninstall Norton then take the driver disk and place it under your coffee mug, then cut your losses and go buy an anti virus program that works. install that one and you will be fine........ a bit of a sarcastic answer i know and apologise but i just can't see how Norton are still going, although saying that- their backup program "ghost" is good but i think they have lost the edge on anti virus detection and the anti virus is very resource hungry...........just my opinion

I think it is a drastic step................if norton doesn't work..........then reinstalling  windows will do the job................this is because when you re-install an operating system...........your hard disk gets formatted..........gettin rid of all data including viruses. But make sure tat you dont have a comp with dual operating system...........the virus may reside in the partion of the hard disk of your secondary OS which wont be formatted during the installation.

First of all completely uninstall Norton, then download AVG free from the following link, update it and scan your computer:\nhttp://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10596553.html?tag=lst-0-1\n\nYou must also get an anti-spyware. SpyBot is the best among the free ones. Get it, update and scan the system again:\n http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/spy...\n\nFor prevention of intrusion into your system, use a firewall. ZoneAlarm is the best among the free ones:\nhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/ZoneAlarm_Free_d388.html

First use the antivirus and antispyware software you have to run a full system scan. Do it in the windows safe mode. (AVG and avast antivirus softwares are free while a 6 month free trial for Norton is available at pack.google.com. Lavasoft's free Ad-Aware is the best antispyware to my knowledge. Also Windows Defender from Microsoft is good enough for real-time protection). This should identify the problem and most probably would solve it as well. However, if the antivirus software is unable to delete the malware, go to Norton's website and search for the name of the malware detected. Their must be some instructions posted to tackle the problem. You might have to delete the system restore points and as well delete the particular registry entries manually if the virus still regenerates on subsequent boot up of the machine. Good Luck.\n\nPS. If you are still having trouble, use Hijack This and copy the log it generates and post it on some tech help forum. I am sure there will be plenty of people ready to help you out.\n\n_____________________________________________________\n\nAnd please after excorsizing your lost pc, do give Firefox internet browser a try. It is free, more secure, highly customizable (using extensions) and a better overall internet experience.

If you already have an older version of Norton installed, then  that's your problem.  Go to the Symantec web site and downlaod their removal tool.  Hopefully, this will work.  It didn't work for me.

Use this antivirus. It's the best and it's FREE. \nNorton and others just make money off you.\nI had all kinds of trouble with my pc for 4 years while using Norton. Q&A solved my problem. I got AVG and had no problems since. I just love it!

You want help? Norton is total crap, quit using it. You can use ZoneAlarm as your firewall, and AVG antivirus. They both have free versions. I would use these any day over Norton. \n\nThink about it this way, if Norton can't even figure out how to make their own program update the virus definitions properly, is this really what you want to use as your shield against the internet?
