My Yahoo anti-virus will not stay on, could that be because of Norton?

Yes.\nNorton tends to manifest itself as the so-called "god" of your computer, taking priority over every other program.\nIt is really annoying...\nI would recommend moving to another program.\nTry McAfee

Get for sure a anti-virus.  I was with Norton and hated it.  I have a 2 month trial with Macaphee. (If you download "netscape" browser, you can have a free trial too).  Once you got a virus and can't get it out of the system, even with anti-virus, you have to find where it is (usually in keys) and manually delete it.

Norton is useless. There's a good list of free virus removal tools here, also has some good info on how to avoid stuff like this.http://www.basicspywaretips.com/getridofspyware.html

Since all Norton does is bog down your computer anyway, why not go ahead and uninstall it now?  But first, download Avast Antivirus(which is free) and ZoneAlarm Firewall(which is also free).  I've had them both for over 2 years and have not gotten a virus or had any other problems.  By the way, after you uninstall Norton, you need to run a registry clean-up tool like TuneUp Utilities 2006(There will still be over 100 entries related to NAV after you uninstall).  This is the only one I know of that is fully functional as a trial version.  \n\nhttp://www.download.com/ZoneAlarm/3000-10435_4-10465069.html?tag=lst-0-2\n\nhttp://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html\n\nhttp://www.download.com/TuneUp-Utilities-2006/3000-2086_4-10440422.html?tag=lst-0-1

I noticed that Norton Internet Security (their PC firewall) will block Yahoo! Instant Messager if you just blindly accept their pop up window.  It's the only application I've seen where their default is "deny".\n\nTry turning off Norton then installing Messenger.  That worked for me. (You shouldn't need to turn off the Virus part, just the Internet or Firewall part)\n\nI've had this problem on two new computers my family got for Christmas (a Compaq and an HP).

i had norton anti-virus but it could not get rid of the virus i had. It was on there for months. Since i wasn't able to get rid of it my computer got infected with all sorts of adware and malware. I rarely went on my computer anymore because the warning window never left, my dvd-r was always skipping and programs either didn't work properly or theydidn't work at all. It took 10-15 minutes for my computer to start-up. My mom asked a friend from work to fix it and he installed 3 new programs for free. \n\nThey are:Clean-Up, Ewido Anti-malware, Ad-aware Anti Personal.\n\nHe fixed it in one day. This was last week. I got my comuter back and it's like new. Everything works and works properly. \nWith those programs he was able to delete thousands for viruses, adware, and malware.I'm so excited now.

Norton is crapware. Get some free spyware protection instead.\nThere's a good list here. http://www.basicspywaretips.com/getridofspyware.html

close everything else out on the taskbar that you can  but first run antispy from yahoo and maybe the virus scanner  and clean the  disk and do a defrag a couple of times these things can get busy and lose their  processor power  but the other day i  watched a computer hard drive be eaten by a worm and some trojans it just lost all function as the hard drive was overwritten

The previous answer is right about Norton.  One of the things Norton Anti Virus specifically tries to eliminate is keyloggers.\n\nI found this out while I was learning to program them for an application at work and NAV kept trying to delete the code I needed!  :P

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
